Ontario Deputy Judges Association – Respect, Recognition and Resources
In 2002, a group of Deputy Judges came together to form an association that would represent those who hold appointments as Deputy Judges of Small Claims Courts in Ontario.
The purpose of ODJA was, and is, to provide training programs and other educational opportunities, advocate on behalf of Deputy Judges to all levels of government in all matters including working conditions and salaries of Deputy Judges, and provide forums Deputy Judges to disdcuss and debate issues of mutual concern.
Today, ODJA has more than 200 members of this distinguished group of judges. We represent all deputy judges in our advocacy efforts and provide quality education and communication forums for our members.
