Café Scientifique: Civil Justice and the Health of Canadians
FY 2012-13
Summary
What if your doctor asked you about your legal problems? Have you ever thought about how legal problems might impact your health, or the health of your community Researchers in health, law, and social policy are beginning to explore the relationship between access to civil justice and personal and community health in Canada. Early studies show that there may be a connection between health and legal problems such as housing disputes, family breakdown, and debt problems. Healthy communities and healthy living may be related to how Canadians find, access, and interpret their legal disputes. This Café Scientifique is an opportunity to explore these issues, to share ideas, and to see how these questions might be meaningfully pursued.
