Abstract
Born into a middle-class Jewish family in 1924 Vienna, Fred 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. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree from Bishop's University and then spent six years as a reporter for the Montreal Star. He graduated from the McGill University Faculty of Law in 1954, where he was the second ever Editor-in-chief of the McGill Law Journal. Called to the Quebec Bar in 1955, Kaufman founded the law firm Kaufman, Yarosky & Fish and practiced criminal law for eighteen years. Kaufman was appointed to the Quebec Court of Appeal in 1973, and became Acting Chief Justice of Quebec from 1990-91. He retired in 1991.
