Maurice Green
Maurice graduated from the University of London with an LL.B in 1967, before emigrating to Canada in 1968, and obtaining a further LL.B from York University. He has practised extensively in the areas of labour and employment law, and education law, since his call to the bar in 1972.
Over the course of his career he has represented unions and employee associations from all sectors of the economy, including teachers, engineers and scientists, professional educational support staff, construction workers, and industrial employees. He has also represented clients in the area of health law.
He has appeared before labour boards, both provincial and federal, arbitration boards, human rights tribunals, professional Colleges, and other administrative tribunals, all level of courts in Ontario and the Supreme Court of Canada. He has been particularly active in the constitutional law challenges and Charter challenges arising from the educational sector, especially those which attempted to defend a degree of independence for the public school system, and the right to collective bargaining.
He is case editor for the Education and Law Journal. He has spoken at numerous labour law and educational law conferences and seminars over the years.
When not litigating Maurice has been active in the Reform Jewish community and charitable work, including support for social action and civil liberty groups in Israel. As befits a pre-babyboomer he has recently suffered from the golf virus, trying to offset it with his love of jazz and classical music, reading and travel. |
