Effective immediately, we are updating our procedure for accessing court records. Please note that we will no longer accept requests for written transcripts. Instead, parties interested in obtaining records will now be able to request audio files of court proceedings. This change allows users to utilize the transcriptionist of their choosing to convert these audio files into written transcripts.
For instructions on how to request audio files, and for more information on this new process, please visit our website Nunavut Courts - Transcript Requests
We appreciate your cooperation as we transition to this new model, aimed at providing more flexible and accessible services.
Francophone accused persons have the right to be tried by a judge and jury who speak French. French-speaking jury trials are very rare in Nunavut.
It’s important to ensure the French-speaking juror list is updated, so that French-language jury trials can be provided when directed by the Court.
French-speaking persons can request that their name is entered in the database used for summoning individuals for French-speaking trials. The information you provide will be kept confidential.
Nunavut Courts can now be found on Twiitter. We are located at: https://twitter.com/nunavutcourts.
Announcements, decisions, news, and media will also continue to be released as usual via email.
