Sujit Choudhry

Sujit Choudhry is a constitutional lawyer, scholar, and advisor.

Sujit is Principal at Circle Barristers and one of Canada’s leading constitutional litigators, ranked by Chambers and Partners (Canada Guide). He was counsel in:

  • the Supreme Court’s landmark decision declaring that all executive decisions must be subject to judicial review (Democracy Watch)
  • the challenge to class privilege for cabinet confidences in the Canada Evidence Act (Loshaj)
  • the challenge to Cabinet’s designation of the United States as a safe third country under the US-Canada Safe Third Country Agreement (CARL & SALCO)
  • a challenge by unhoused individuals to sheltering restrictions and evictions (Heegsma)
  • the Public Inquiry into Foreign Interference in Federal Electoral Processes and Democratic Institutions
  • the successful challenge to the public order emergency declared under the Emergencies Act (CCLA et al.)
  • the successful Charter challenge to the “second generation cut off” in the Citizenship Act (Bjorkquist)

Before founding Circle Barristers, Sujit was a full-time constitutional law scholar at the University of Toronto, New York University, and Berkeley, and founder and director of the Center for Constitutional Transitions. For over 20 years, Sujit has advised constitutional and peace processes across the world, including in Cyprus, Egypt, Ethiopia, Jordan, Libya, Myanmar, Nepal, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Tunisia, Ukraine, Yemen, and Zimbabwe — advising multi-party dialogues and party leaders and parliamentarians; facilitating public dialogue sessions with civil society; providing detailed technical advice on process design and constitutional options; and training civil servants and bureaucrats.

Sujit has edited nine books on Canadian and comparative constitutional law; published over 100 articles, reports, book chapters, and working papers; and lectured or spoken in three dozen countries. His work has been translated into Arabic, French, Myanmar, and Ukrainian.
