Statement from the Chief Justices
Jan 27, 2026
As proud Albertans, we care deeply about this province and the people of Alberta. The judges on Alberta’s three courts—the Court of Justice, the Court of King’s Bench and the Court of Appeal—recognize that our fundamental role is to serve Albertans. We do this by upholding our oath of office to decide each case honestly, impartially, and to the best of our ability. We know that our decisions can profoundly impact the people who come before the courts. We take this responsibility seriously.
