The records in this series document Professor Friedland’s participation in a number of workshops and conferences in the Faculty of Law at the University of Toronto relating to terrorism, and a critical analysis he prepared on the federal government’s proposed anti-terrorism legislation, Bill C-36, in the wake of 9/11. There are also files as a consultant on policy aspects of the mandate of the Arar Commission, the federal Judicial Compensation and Benefits Commission, the Ontario Legal Aid Advisory Committee, a review of the legal studies program at Capliano University, and several projects he did not undertake.
