Jordan Mayer is a PhD candidate in law at Laval University and the University of Liège in Belgium, as well as a student in the short program in ethics at the University of Québec in Rimouski. His thesis project focuses on the concept of integrity and how public law employs it through the emergence of independent oversight and control institutions, which form a public integrity system (such as commissioners, ombudsmen, etc.). Public integrity refers to a normative system aimed at regulating the conduct of public officeholders in the exercise of their duties to safeguard the common interest.

After becoming a member of the Quebec bar, Jordan completed judicial clerkship at the Court of Appeal for Quebec before completing a Master’s degree in public law at Laval University. He holds several doctoral research grants, including one from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. He is an affiliated researcher at the Centre d'études en droit administratif et constitutionnel de l'Université Laval, the Centre de Droit public – Uliège, the Institut d'éthique appliquée de l'Université Laval, and the Chaire de recherche sur la démocratie et les institutions parlementaires.
