# 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.

**SOQUIJ records are only available in French.**
