    Bora Laskin

    Bora Raphael Laskin, CC, FRSC, PC, legal scholar and educator, justice of the Supreme Court of Canada (1970–84), Chief Justice of Canada (1973–84) (born 5 October 1912 in Fort William [now Thunder Bay], ON; died 26 March 1984 in Ottawa, ON). Bora Laskin is generally considered Canada’s first great legal scholar, and one of the greatest legal minds in Canadian history. A towering intellectual, Laskin overcame pervasive anti-Semitism in the legal profession to become the 14th chief justice of the Supreme Court of Canada. He also played an integral role in modernizing the University of Toronto’s law school. His decisions and dissents helped shape a new era of Canadian civil liberties, much of which culminated in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in 1982. Laskin was an ardent Canadian federalist. He sided with Pierre Trudeau on constitutional issues and argued in favour of strong federalism via a powerful and public Supreme Court.
