Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Jacobs, Samuel William, 1871-1938 : Samuel William Jacobs, born in 1871 at Lancaster, Ont., studied law at McGill, B.C.L., and Laval, LL.M., Universities, was called to the Quebec Bar in 1894 and became a King's Counsel in 1906. Throughout his career he was active in promoting the legal and civil rights of the Jewish community in Canada. In addition to representing the community in court, Jacobs played an important role in obtaining the passage of acts by the Quebec legislature aimed at removing civil disabilities against Jewish citizens in that province.

Jacobs was a Member of the House of Commons, representing Cartier, from 1917 to 1938. In this capacity he was considered to be parliamentary spokesman for the Canadian Jewish Community, and was active in promoting the interests of Jewish immigrants.
