Harvey Brownstone recounts the astonishing obstacles he confronted and surmounted with fearless resolve, including parental rejection, poverty, depression, homophobia, institutional inertia, and professional sabotage.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHarvey Brownstone's story is a tumultuous, sometimes hilarious, and uplifting journey from bullied child to outcast after coming out to his parents, to trailblazing lawyer, to distinguished judge. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBrownstone colorfully details his momentous and inventive judicial career marked by his numerous innovations of the justice system, particularly revolutionizing Ontario's child support enforcement program. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn retirement, he is no longer shackled by the restraints traditionally imposed on the judiciary, and thus Brownstone provides a frank, unfiltered, and refreshing glimpse into the inner workings of the justice system, boldly delineating the strengths and weaknesses of criminal and family courts, both of which he claims are sorely in need of comprehensive reform. His remarkable story, reinventing himself from high-profile judge to highly acclaimed talk show host, is a testament to the resilience and triumph of the human spirit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvey Brownstone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1770418784\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781770418783\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ECW Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/26\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs","brand":"Harvey Brownstone","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48448718668031,"sku":"9781770418783","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4636cc47-c654-41b4-a8a3-5f54d333a514.jpg?v=1777260183","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/without-prejudice-harvey-brownstone-9781770418783","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
