The Ministère de la Justice launched the Prix de la justice du Québec in 1991. Every year, the award pays public homage to men and women who devote time and effort, often unnoticed, to improve the legal system throughout Québec.
Through this official recognition, the Minister of Justice wishes to acknowledge and encourage their invaluable contribution to promoting justice. The Minister hopes that even more nominations will be submitted in the future.
