Issue No. 33 - Family Law, Family Violence and Restorative Justice

March 2024

In this brief, we discuss the practice of restorative justice as it relates to family violence and family law. The information in this brief is based on the webinar: Family Law, Family Violence and Restorative Justice that featured Tod Augusta-Scott, an expert in the fields of family violence, restorative approaches, trauma, and narrative therapy; and Lisa Teryl, a senior lawyer who brings a wealth of legal expertise, having served as the senior legal counsel utilizing a restorative approach at the Nova Scotia Human Rights Commission for six years (June 28, 2023).
