Toward a
Phenomenology
of Justice

For the Man Who Wants to Live and Not Die
in the Belly of the Beast

September 2025—New Edition

Our First Intention
In the present work, we share a message which contains a brief of exposition of the Art and Science of Making Justice Happen, for we believe that this world is in deep need of Justice. 

Our work intends to supply this need by empowering the people to acquire and pracice the wisdom and knowledge that will lead them back to justice. We place our people on a safe and well-tried road back to justice through reconciliation. 
A Cause which Justifies 
our Existence
Picture in the mind of your eye a warm and friendly building with the welcoming characteristics of a home instead of the cold, sterile and uninviting formality of a court house or institutional building. It is surrounded by a beautiful garden and a natural forest where children can run and play without fear or danger.

This is not a place in which to finalize divorce papers, or put an end to blood bound or sacred relationships. Rather, it is an experiential learning center in which to takle life's deadliest challenges. Those who work there have been carefully selected and trained in alternative and integrative methods, that they may express the care and compasision to relate to people of all ages, conditions and backgrounds.
Unspeakable Truths
This  body  of  work  is  artistic  in  nature. It  represents  the  author's  expression of  the  way,  the means  and  the  care  with  which  every  man,  woman  and child  can  make  justice  happen. This said, it does not necessarily represent the most prevalent opinions of Christian institutions, nor those of the Canadian Judiciary or members of the legal profession.  It  is  intended  for  the  entertainment  of  the mind,  the inspiration  of  the  soul,  and  the  cultivation  of  a  new perspective  on better access to Justice. 

Inside the Mind of the Master

Principles and Procedures for the Resolution of Contentions Before the Court of Heaven

Exhibit Overview

''Unspeakable Truths'' explores the paradoxical nature of justice and how seemingly offensive or incompatible matters can work together to create a perfect balance.

Word of Mouth:
On Speaking the 
Mother Language
Lady Justice is said to be always speaking. Each word she expels and expounds is like a magnificent red oak tree. Each one of her children is like a red oak seed. When planted by the waters of Eden, they grow into the most magnificent subspecies of the red oak tree the eye has seen. In turn, each seed when grown yields ten thousand fold of its original strength and form.

Exhibit label: 2025
Title: Talks for All
Description:  An introduction to our new fangled approach and methods toward early intervention and prevention of high risk disputes in vulnerable or at-risk populations. 
Instead of chaos and confusion, enjoy the many blessings of social and preventive justice
Social and Preventive Justice as a lifestyle and practice is always ecological, effective and affordable. With simple means and resources, it combines old and new frameworks and methods for preventing disputes and avoiding litigation, along with the moral, material and sometimes spiritual damages that can accompany the breakdown of sacred relationships and commitments, whether personal or professional in nature.

Whereas the traditional legal field concept of justice is primarily oriented towards the management of disputes and lawsuits through adversarial, punitive or coercitive methods—Social and Preventive Justice is geared toward the prevention of their causes, the protection against their direct or indirect moral and material injuries and damages and, the promotion of balanced, caring and compassionate relationships that respect the fundamental rights and freedoms of every person, regardless of age, gender, religion or other socio-economic determinants and conditions.
Resolve your 
Dispute in Private
Disputes of any kind can have devastating consequences on the health, wellbeing and socio-economic stability and viability of the individuals and family members involved. 

Nothing could be more sensible and cost-effective than resolving a dispute in private. Remarkably, some parties ignore this commanded step and rush to the courts out of emotion or tactics. Dispute prevention and resolution methods—such as conciliation, mediation and arbitration, offer many advantages, including confidentiality, flexibility, and time and cost savings when compared to traditional litigation.

You deserve better.

The Good Old Favorites

Rediscover these popular methods for dispute resolution through our audacious protocols and procedures, crafted to accommodate our distinguished clients' most capricious needs and expectations.

Conciliation

Conciliation is a process for managing variances and resolving disputes, outside of the traditional court system. The process is conciliatory rather than adversarial in nature and may be conducted as a stand-alone service, or in combination with other dispute prevention and resolution procedures.

Mediation

Mediation allows the parties to engage in dialogue, to clarify their views, to define the issues in dispute, to identify their needs and interests, to explore viable solutions and to reach, whenever possible, a mutually satisfactory agreement that settles the dispute between them.

Private Arbitration

From a practical perspective, arbitration is the investigation and determination of matters of difference between contending parties, by an independent and impartial neutral third party. Arbitration is either compulsory or consensual in nature. Ad hoc arbitration services are offered under the auspices of the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules, which may be adapted to suit the procedural needs of the parties and the circumstances of their case.

Your Right to Legal Advice and Representation
Taking part in dispute prevention and resolution proceedings can substantially affect your rights and responsibilities as a party. Consequently, you are encouraged to seek legal advice and representation in regard to the legal questions your are concerned about. Unrepresented parties should voice their particular status at the first-conference or procedural meeting. 

We appreciate your cooperation.

The Age of Vision

Research and Development into Alternative and Integrative Policies for Removing Structural Barriers to Justice

Wanting Legal Care not Legal Aid

The primary objective of a new Legal Care Policy for Canada, in which necessary or required legal services would be covered by a provincial or territorial insurance plan, instead of pay per service and conditionally accessible legal aid, is to prevent litigation, protect individuals and promote better access to justice for all Canadians, without financial or other barriers.

Publicly Funded Civil Justice Provided on a Non-profit Basis

The public administration of legal services within the Canadian justice system, would require provincial and territorial legal insurance plans to be administered on a non-profit basis, by a public authority responsible to the provincial government. A publicly funded justice system only applies to the administration of the insurance plan and what it covers, on an as legally needed or required; it does not mean that legal services cannot be delivered by private entities as long as insured persons are not charged for these services.

Comprehensive Civil Justice, that is Preventive and Protective

Asking for Comprehensive Civil Justice, that is Preventive and Protective in Scope and Substance A comprehensive justice system requires that all insured legal services, which are legally necessary or required for the prevention of harms and the protection of a person's civil rights, notably as regards a person's physical, moral and material integrity, be insured by the provincial or territorial legal insurance plan.

Universally Accessible and Affordable Civil Justice for All Canadians

A universal justice system requires that all insured persons, this means; one hundred percent of individuals residing in a province or territory, be entitled to insured legal services on uniform terms and conditions.

Expecting Civil Justice to be Free of Corruption and Undue Influence

A corruption free justice system is one in which public officials, the judiciary, and legal services providers are free of bribery and improper influence by private interests, including their own. It is also a system in which officials and providers are not tied, directly or indirectly, with organized crime.

Civil Justice is Free of Financial Barriers for all Canadians

An accessible justice system requires that a province or territory provide reasonable access to insured legal services on uniform terms and conditions, and this, without financial or other barriers.

Interjurisdictional Access to Preventive and Curative Legal Services

A portable justice system restricts the maximum period of residency required to be eligible for insured services in three months, and sets out requirements relating to payments for insured legal services provided to insured persons outside the province or territory.

Operations and Management

Information for Parties to Dispute Prevention and Resolution Proceedings

Work meetings, pre-hearing conferences and hearings are held weekdays, from Monday to Wednesday, from 8h30am to 12h30pm and from 1h30pm to 4h30pm, except statutory holidays.

Thursdays and Fridays, during regular business hours, are reserved for internal operations. However, we remain available upon request to address urgent or specific issues.
Dispute prevention and resolution services offered through Praxis Forum are available in the English and French, at the choice of the parties. Upon the parties request, services may also be offered in Portuguese. 
For the purpose of promoting better access to justice and to ensure the fairness of dispute prevention and resolution proceedings, self-represented parties are advised to inform the arbitrator of their status without delay. Given the nature and the circumstances of the matter, the arbitrator may:
  • Explain the arbitration process;
  • Inquire, at any time during proceedings, whether both parties understand the process and the procedure;
  • Provide information or refer a self-represented party to an organization capable of supporting the party in the preparation and readiness of his or her case;
  • Provide a self-represented party with information relating to the availability and accessibility of legal, jurisprudential or doctrinal resources;
  • Modify the order in which proceedings are typically conducted, for example as regards the conduct of pre-hearing examinations and disclosures.
As an independent and impartial quasi-adjudicator, the arbitrator is prohibited from providing legal advice or recommendations to the parties. It is understood that self-represented parties are responsible for preparing and presenting their case before the arbitral tribunal.
While civil justice courts uphold the principle of open proceedings—where anyone may attend court hearings wherever they are held, and have access to court records and entries in the registers, such is not the case in private dispute prevention and resolution proceedings.

Arbitration hearings and procedural meetings are held in private. This said, a party wishing to be accompanied by a person other than his or her lawyer or counsel, must advise the arbitrator in writing, within 5 business days prior to any procedural meeting or hearing, so that the appropriate measures or written notices may be communicated in advance to other interested parties in the proceeding.
For information or assistance, or to provide the arbitral tribunal with advance notice, parties to an arbitral proceeding are invited to communicate with the arbitrator in the following manner:

During regular hours of operation:
by telephone: (514) 569-9238
by telefax: NIL/S.O.
by E-mail: secretariat@praxis-forum.com

After hour emergencies:
by text message complete with case number and details in regard to the urgent nature of the requisition to: (514) 569-9238.
Preliminary or procedural meetings or hearings may, for serious reasons, be postponed by submitting without delay, a written notice to secretariat@praxis-forum.com with the mention of ''adjournment request'' in the opening section of your e-mail. Please include the following details along with your request so that it may be processed effectively and without additional delays, or penalties, if any:
  • Reason(s) for the adjournment;
  • Prior consent of other parties;
  • Date, time and duration of meeting or hearing to postpone;
  • Experts or witnesses called to appear at scheduled hearing;
  • Alternate dates and times of availability for all parties, including experts and witnesses.
Your cooperation allows us to deliver fair, effective and affordable dispute prevention and resolution services.
A party may cancel a service request, without penalty, at any time before signing the arbitration protocole. To this end, please submit a written notice to secretariat@praxis-forum.com with the mention of ''cancellation'' in the opening section of your e-mail. 

A notice of reception will be sent to the parties at the earliest possible time. Please read our Cancellation Policy for general information on penalties and costs that may apply to the cancellation or discontinuance of a proceeding.
A party who wishes to discontinue a proceeding, may do so by submitting a written notice of discontinuance to secretariat@praxis-forum.com with the mention of ''discontinuance of proceeding'' in the opening section of the e-mail.

Parties who have made a transaction must, whether they reach their agreement in or outside the presence of the arbitral tribunal, without delay, terminate the proceeding by filing a written notice of settlement with the arbitral tribunal at secretariat@praxis-forum.com. A confirmation of reception will be sent to the parties at the earliest possible time. 

Your cooperation allows us to deliver fair, effective and affordable dispute prevention and resolution services.
Requests for orders or exceptional measures must be made in writing to secretariat@praxis-forum.com and provide detailed reasons as to why the arbitral tribunal's intervention is necessary. 

Upon receiving your request, the arbitral tribunal will send a notice of hearing to the parties, and their counsel, within the same or next business day in the case of urgent matters.
