The Alberta Public Service works to build a stronger province for current and future generations. We make a difference in the lives of Albertans through rewarding career opportunities.

 
Within the Court and Justice Services (CJS) Division, the Resolution Support Centre is the “come in” of the service delivery model, focusing on providing consistent information to Albertans in person, by telephone, or by email and will result in improved client access to the legal information & resources best suited to their situation, improved client experience, and an emphasis on front-end resolution of the legal issues Albertans experience.
