Autobiography of a notable Executive MBA Alumnus In September 2009, the Honourable Fred Kaufman tells his remarkable story in a memoir called “Searching for Justice”, published by Key Porter Books. The Executive MBA Alumnus from the Class of 1991 has been a distinguished figure in Canadian law for a half century. Kaufman’s story is one of adversity overcome in a tumultuous period of the country’s legal history. Born into a middle-class Jewish family in the mid-1920’s Vienna, Kaufman escaped to England on the eve of the Second World War. In 1940, he was interned as an “enemy alien” and sent to Canada. Released in 1942, Kaufman stayed in Canada where he went on to university and law school in Montreal. Kaufman practiced criminal law for eighteen years, taking part in many of the famous cases of that period. In 1960, he secured the release of a young Pierre Elliott Trudeau from prison, and in 1973, Trudeau returned the favour by personally informing Kaufman of his appointment to the Quebec Court of Appeal, where he served for eighteen years. Since his retirement in 1991, Kaufman has led numerous commissions and inquiries, most notably the investigation into the wrongful conviction of Guy Paul Morin and the two-year reassessment of the Steven Truscott case. |
