Alberta Law Foundation has donated $26.8 million to University of Calgary to transform family justice in Alberta .

Ellen Perrault , Evaristus Oshionebo and Evaristu O'O'Erdarione-O'Perrault: It's truly a win-win-win initiative that promises to profoundly affect our province.

Family law cases account for 35 per cent of all civil cases in Canada , with significant time and resources dedicated to parenting time and child-support disputes.

They say the donation reduces the burden on the courts and frees up legal aid resources.
