Assignment 1 The internet web site that I have chosen to write my report on is the Department of Justice. This site is a very well organized webpage sponsored by the Canadian government.

The web site tells its readers that approximately five thousand people, half of them being lawyers, work in the department and contribute to the legal system. The second category relates to what the mandate of the Department of Justice is, namely to support the dual roles of the Minister of Justice and the Attorney General of Canada. Another category is the strategic outcomes explaining what the Department of Justice aims to obtain. One of these strategic outcomes is to ensure an operational justice system that reflects Canadian values. The information given in this category, “The Department”, is very informative and helpful for anybody who wants to learn more about this legal department, present in today’s society. We can also find numerous articles on recent legal activity in Canada, for example who was appointed as judge of the Superior Court of Quebec.

One of them is “Tackling Crime” where we can find many articles and information
