Justice Harvey Brownstone

Canada's Own Celebrity Judge!

Last year, Justice Brownstone released his bestselling book, Tug of War: a Judge's Verdict on Separation, Custody Battles, and the Bitter Realities of Family Court (now in third printing). "This was the first book by a sitting family court judge that speaks directly to the public." Justice Brownstone "wanted parents to get the best possible information, directly from a judge, about the realities of family court and the alternatives available to litigation, so that parents could make informed decisions about how to resolve parenting disputes in a way that meets the best interests of their children. The public and media response to Tug of War was overwhelming!" Tug of War spent 12 weeks on the national best seller list, and catapulted Justice Brownstone into the media spotlight. He has appeared on every major radio and TV talk show in Canada and has been one of the most sought after speakers on the lecture circuit. He has been credited as single-handedly changing the public perception of the justice system and the judiciary, by enhancing access to justice through his public education efforts. Because he is one of the very few judges willing to appear in the media and make public appearances, he has become the face and voice of the Canadian justice system and is indisputably the most famous judge in Canada. This led to the beginning of Family Matters. In May, 2009 Nancy Kinney and Justice Brownstone met one another in Toronto, and soon began hatching a plan for a unique kind of talk show that would go where no talk show has ever gone before. It is important to note that all of Justice Brownstone's royalties from the sale of his book have been directed to the Children's Wish Foundation, and he will not be receiving any remuneration by reason of his involvement in Family Matters.
