Stakeholder Colloquium on Justice Metrics

In February of 2020, UVic ACE hosted a stakeholder colloquium on Justice Metrics to bring together representatives of a broad range of justice sector organizations to discuss the justice metrics question and inform concrete, practical work on justice metrics. The latest of these colloquia focused on the concept of a justice data commons and the potential application of the Data Innovation Program (the “DIP”) operated by the BC Ministry of Citizens' Services, to the justice metrics question. The colloquium was attended by representatives from the BC government, courts, administrative tribunals, notaries, NGOs, academia, and libraries. The group heard presentations on the subjects of data commons, BC privacy law in a research context, and the BC Data Innovation Program. The group then participated in an exercise demonstrating how research projects happen through the DIP and a plenary discussion about the information presented. The report summarizes the content, trends, and themes emerging from the presentations and discussions.
