In May 2026, delegates from the Alberta Law Reform Institute (ALRI) attended the annual symposium of the Federation of Law Reform Agencies of Canada (FOLRAC). Among the many collaborative sessions that took place, ALRI was participated in a panel hosted by the Action Committee on Access to Justice titled “Law Reform and Access to Justice in a People-Centred Justice System”.

This session features members of the FOLRAC and bridges the Action Committee conference and the FOLRAC annual meeting, illustrating the centrality of law reform in advancing access to justice within a people-centred justice system. Panelists will discuss how they approach their work guiding the evolution of law and share examples from FOLRAC agencies that re-imagine and re-build legal systems for the public good.
