Recherche dans la collection - Central registry files of Justice Legal Services Units in Transport Canada and Finance/Treasury Board [textual record]

The records in this accession consist of central registry files created and maintained by the Finance/Treasury Board Legal Services Unit (17 boxes) and the Legal Services Unit in Transport Canada (6 boxes). The records document specialized legal advice and policy direction between the Department of Justice and the Legal Services Unit.

The files are maintained based on the subject content of the record or case name and/or details of the case using the Department of Justice central file classification system. Each Legal Services Unit classifies records according to the subject matter or case name. Generally the records can be categorized into four main groups: Administrative, Legal Operational, Legal Policy and Program Development. As a rule information is retrieved by name, subject, statute or term.

These records were originally held in British Columbia. They were transferred to the National Capital Region in 2016 and are available for consultation there.
