 \nMichael Bryant was the 35th Attorney General of Ontario (2003-07)\, when
  that province passed its emergency management legislation that initially 
 applied during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since 2018\, he has led the Canadian
  Civil Liberties Association\, a premier watchdog of domestic laws and reg
 ulations\, and a frequent litigator before the Supreme Court of Canada. It
  is with both perspectives that Bryant critiques our system of judicial re
 view in Canada\, particularly during the pandemic\, and what happens to th
 e rule of law in an emergency. He argues that the judicial branch is the r
 unt of Canada’s constitutional litter\, permitting governments and legisla
 tures to operate without sufficient constitutional scrutiny.\n\nAbout the 
 speaker\n\nMichael Bryant was born and raised in B.C.\, studied at UBC (BA
 \, MA)\, Osgoode Hall Law School (JD) and Harvard University (LLM). He cle
 rked at the Supreme Court of Canada for Rt. Hon. Beverley McLachlin\, and 
 then taught at King’s College\, London (UK)\, U of T and Osgoode Hall. Bef
 ore and after serving a decade as provincial Member of Parliament in Ontar
 io\, he practised law at McCarthy Tetrault LLP and Norton Rose Fulbright L
 LP. Bryant was recently a public defender and defence counsel to indigent 
 and indigenous people\, and has published books on criminal law and public
  law. Father to a daughter who studies at McGill and a son at high school 
 in Toronto\, Bryant was named by Canadian Lawyer in 2019 as a Top 25 Most 
 Influential in Canada’s justice sector.\n
