Introduction The life course in Canada has changed dramatically over the past several decades – where women once stayed at home, they now gain high degrees of education and employment; where families were once large, they are now steadily declining in size (Statistics Canada 2015; McDaniel 2001, Table 1).

Interestingly, not coincidentally, you do not have to know or be a judge or lawyer to understand or have the judicial branch impact your life.
