Biography
I am a Ph.D student at Osgoode Hall Law School. My academic focus is custody and access arrangements made for children following the breakdown of their parents’ relationships. My work critically analyzes the litigation process used to resolve these disputes, and its costs and benefits for the children involved. In autumn 2010, I will be a visiting Research Fellow at Columbia Law School in New York.
I have published several papers in the family law, dispute resolution, and administrative law fields. Please use the “Academic Publications” link to access my articles, as well as short video presentations based on my work. The “Other Publications” page has my essays and op-ed pieces in the Globe and Mail and campus newspapers.
In June of 2009, I successfully defended my LL.M thesis at Osgoode Hall. I was called to the Ontario bar on June 19, 2008 after completing my articles at Borden Ladner Gervais LLP, in Toronto. In June 2007, I received my Juris Doctor degree from the University of Toronto Faculty of Law.
I live with my wife, Angélique Moss, and our two year old daughter, Madeleine Moss Semple, in the west end of Toronto. Take a look, we’re on the “Pictures” page.
