SOQUIJ

Certn discovers and provides easy access to published civil, criminal and penal judicial records from the Quebec courthouses and municipal courts.

Société québécoise d'information juridique (SOQUIJ) records do not include the Montréal Municipal court. This has no impact on criminal conviction information and minor impacts on summary/civil infraction information.
