"The Centre de ressources en francais juridique (CRFJ, formerly the Joseph Dubuc Institute) plays a leadership role in the francophone community for improving access to justice in French. With the financial support from the Department of Justice, we have been able to carry out a set of projects that have a direct, positive impact on Canadians who are served by the professionals who use the tools and take the CRJF''s training. Since 2008-2009, the trust that the Department has been placing in the Universite de Saint-Boniface has enabled the CRFJ to prepare 47 mini-lexicons, 221 language information capsules and 157 legal information capsules and case summaries."
