A Judges' Oath: To God, King and Justice! October 2026

On this Empower Hour, David Lindsay answers the questions: What does a judge promise when taking the Oath of Office and Oath of Allegiance—and what limits the power exercised from the bench?
These questions matter whenever Canadians turn to the courts for justice. A judicial oath is a solemn commitment to carry out the powers and duties of office faithfully. The Christian Biblical principles that shaped our legal inheritance must remain central to that commitment. David discusses what the oath requires of judges and how judicial independence works alongside accountability.
