The levels of an appeal follow a hierarchical model as follows: 1. Court of King’s Bench for Saskatchewan; 2. Court of Appeal for Saskatchewan; and 3. Supreme Court of Canada.242 The Court of King’s Bench for Saskatchewan consists of a Chief Justice of the King’s Bench and currently 36243 other judges. Each King’s Bench judge is assigned to a specific judicial centre, but because the Court is an itinerant244 court, the judges also travel to and sit in other judicial centres.245 In Saskatchewan, there are court locations in: • Battleford • Estevan • La Ronge • Meadow Lake • Melfort • Moose Jaw • Prince Albert • Regina • Saskatoon 242 Courts of Saskatchewan, Resources, Court Structure.
