The Child-centred Family Justice Strategy:
Survey on the Practice of Family Law in Canada, 2004-2006

Figure 2.5 Respondents' Reports of Where Their Clients Get Their Information About Family Justice Services, 2006

This bar chart shows the percentages of respondents who thought that their clients obtained information about family justice services from specific sources. Almost all 2006 respondents said their clients get their information from friends and family members. Over two-thirds said the Internet was a resource, and over half said their clients get information from media stories or advertising (e.g., television, radio, newspaper). Resources that were less commonly used were: court services; another lawyer; parenting education programs; public legal education and information association; and books. This pattern of findings is very similar to those obtained in the 2004 survey.
