Academic History MEd, University of Toronto, 1973 LLB, Osgoode Hall Law School, 1966 BA, University of Toronto, 1963 Research Overview It is the obvious intersection of Educational Law, Criminal and Family Law, and my position as a Judge of the Ontario Court of Justice since 1978 that has uniquely informed my teaching, research and scholarship at OISE since 1982. Part of my distinctive contribution to OISE is the practical application of these perspectives to the many issues facing educators today. I continue to write and consult in these areas, not only in the context of Journals of which I am on the Editorial Board, but also my authorship and co-authorship of textbooks. As a preventive measure, an ounce of education can be worth a pound of litigation. As is true in many professions, and many less legally intensive than education, educators must understand the legal context in which they operate. Every day, principals and teachers inevitably must make numerous quick judgement calls of potential legal import, often without benefit of legal counsel. There are both economic and educational costs of legal illiteracy. In addition to the financial costs of school litigation, there is the enormous time spent by teachers and administration attempting to avoid or prepare for ultimate litigation.
