About Me

itzik basman
I got my B.A. in English Literature from the University of British Columbia ("U.B.C."). I got my Secondary School Teaching Certificate from U.B.C. and my Masters degree in English Literature from U.B.C. writing my 125 page Masters' Thesis on the novels of Mordecai Richler. I attended Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto, graduating with my Juris Doctor . After articling and completing the Ontario Bar Admissions Course, I was called to the bar in Ontario. I have practiced law to date in Toronto, specializing in Family Law, Civil Litigation, and Appellate Advocacy. I have pleaded cases in all civil Ontario courts, including many times in the Ontario Court of Appeal, as well as the Supreme Court of Canada. I practice law under the firm name Itzik Basman Barrister, James Rose, my former associate, having died January 23, 2011. I published on line in 2004 my extended essay on "Hamlet, entitled Futility As Tragedy: An Interpretation Of Hamlet". It can be found at Lulu.Com. It was critically reviewed both in Kritikos and Politics and Culture. I live in Toronto.
