Professor Lorne Sossin, of the University of Toronto Faculty of Law, will be moving across town to York University's Osgoode Hall Law School to serve as its dean. Sossin, who has a treasure trove of degrees (B.A., McGill, M.A. Exeter, L.L.B. Osgoode Hall, Ph.D Toronto, L.L.M. Columbia, J.S.D. Columbia), is an administrative law and civil procedure scholar. He served as associate dean at Toronto for four years and was a member of the Osgoode Hall faculty from 1997-2001. His cv is here.
A great choice, and a loss for Toronto.
