From 1976 to 1985, he was the Chief Justice of the High Court of Ontario.

From 1962 to 1963, he served as President of the Canadian Bar Association-Ontario (now the Ontario Bar Association).

In 1988, he was appointed Integrity Commissioner of Ontario. He served until 1997 and again for a brief period in 2001.

gollark: Loud rack servers instead of... also loud tower servers, VMs instead of containers, Windows instead of Linux, bizarrely convoluted nested reverse proxies for some reason, old PHP/ASP applications instead of my shinier Node/Python ones, sort of thing.

gollark: I have a friend who's also into the whole servers-at-home thing, but made basically opposite technical decisions to me.
