Andrew Lorne Campbell (known as A. Lorne Campbell), O.C., C.D., LL.B., LL.D., D.C.L., Q.C. (September 18, 1920 – January 15, 2014) was a Canadian lawyer in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He was very active in his community and in the legal profession, serving as President of The Law Society of Manitoba and as the national President of the Canadian Bar Association.
Campbell was born in Winnipeg, the son of Arnold Munroe and Petrina Flora Isobel (née Wilson) Campbell. He had a brother, Allan Barrie, and a sister, Barbara (Carpenter). The family lived in East Kildonan, one of the oldest areas of Winnipeg, dating back to the Selkirk Settlers. The Campbells were descended from some of the original settlers, who arrived at the Red River colony in 1816 from Scotland.
His father, Arnold M. Campbell, K.C., was a lawyer in Winnipeg. He served as a bencher of The Law Society of Manitoba from 1944 to 1947, and was appointed a judge of the Manitoba Court of King's Bench in 1947, serving until his death on February 13, 1963.
His brother Barrie earned a Ph.D. in plant science at The University of Minnesota and worked his entire career with the Winnipeg Research Centre of Agriculture Canada. Both brothers were to receive the Order of Canada for their professional and community work.
Campbell's wife, Kathleen, was a war bride. He met her while in England during World War II. They married in 1945 and had four children: Andrew, Jennifer, Deborah and Duncan. He was pre-deceased by his younger son Duncan in 1996.
Campbell studied first at United College, Winnipeg (now The University of Winnipeg), and then enrolled in the Manitoba Law School (now Robson Hall (Faculty of Law – The University of Manitoba). He earned his Bachelor of Laws degree in 1947.
