Archie Campbell (judge)
Archie Gray Campbell (13 April 1942 – 17 April 2007) was a former Justice of the Superior Court of Ontario and the lower Ontario Court.
Born in Montreal, Quebec, Campbell graduated from Osgoode Hall Law School in 1967. He worked at the Attorney General of Ontario's office as appeal counsel for the attorney general and as deputy attorney general. He later was senior policy advisor to the current Chief Justice of the Superior Court of Ontario Roy McMurtry. Outside of the AG office, Campbell worked briefly at the Parkdale Legal Clinic in 1977 and taught at Osgoode Hall. He was appointed to the bench in 1986.[1]
Campbell's notable contributions included a 1995 inquiry into the police investigation of Paul Bernardo's crimes and the 2003 SARS Commission inquiry.[1]
Campbell died of cancer and degenerative lung disease on 17 April 2007 in Toronto.[1]
SARS Commission
The SARS Commission report can be found in the Archives of Ontario, and has five volumes.[2] In total, more than 2000 pages were written by Campbell and his staff. Campbell was selected from amongst the supernumerary justices of Ontario on 10 June 2003[3] by the government of Ernie Eves, whose Conservative colleagues held the legislature at the time of the inquiry's formation and indeed the SARS epidemic itself, which had hit the shores of Toronto on 23 February 2003.[4]
