Tiny Chat 152: Five Habits of Highly Effective Courts
Justice David M. Brown, Court of Appeal for Ontario, shared five habits that public courts must employ to meet the necessary goals of transparency and accountability.
In this special Tiny Chat and the white paper, Justice Brown challenges all of us to think about how courts can operate at the highest level with boldness, sensitivity, and curiosity, and uses the analogy of tractor development and innovation as a framing for courts.
Justice Brown joined us as he was nearing retirement and honed these insights from his long and prestigious career as a judge at the trial and appellate levels and as the owner of a small farmstead.
