My second reason, which was more personal, arose from the fact that Rand founded the University of Western Ontario Law School upon his retirement from the Supreme Court of Canada in 1960, the same law school that I attended.
When the delegate from India chided the other delegates favouring partition for not having specifics on partition boundaries, Rand kept his group working together, saying that it was more important to complete the report with a strong recommendation for partition, and only afterward would it be necessary to settle this issue.

This person was Justice Ivan Rand of the Supreme Court of Canada, the member who was credited with putting forward the scheme for partition and for ensuring that the Jewish state had the Negev and the Galilee within its borders.
Most importantly, Rand garnered support for the partition plan from his fellow members and helped draft the final report so that its majority recommendation was clear, precise and unanimous, all of which made it the formidable document that ultimately persuaded the United Nations General Assembly to vote in favour of the report.
Not only had Rand supported and enshrined progressive laws in Canada by his own judicial decisions, he was also a highly distinguished labour arbitrator having recently settled a major labour dispute by creating the “Rand Formula,” a ruling still in use today.

Rand, in contrast, had a solid intellectual reputation as a small "l" liberal on the bench and was still known for his legacy to unions, the Rand Formula (or union check off), the political outcome of his arbitration of a major auto strike in 1946.
Rand, similarly, portrayed mass pickets as improper, a "total invasion of employers property" and warned that such tactics were discrediting labour.
Rand's liberal values and desire to balance contending economic groups in the public interest were clear in both cases, but he imagined a different context in 1968, characterized by social upheaval and the emergence of "big" labour.

 QUEBEC MUST LOOSEN THE UNIONS' GRIP
The logic is that all workers benefit from the agreement, whether they are members of the union or not, and should thus be required to financially support it.
And a group called the Union paysanne is contesting the monopoly of the huge Union des producteurs agricoles, an organization that functions as an appendage to the provincial bureaucracy, and to which all agricultural producers have to pay dues.

 Ivan Rand and the UNSCOP Papers - Part 3 - The United Nations & Israel
Justice Rand had only scant information on the problem of Palestine, the Jewish people, the disaster that struck European Jewry under Hitler's Germany, and the urgent necessity for survivors to reach a safe haven for a new beginning in Palestine.
The learned Judge was therefore fortunate, when he arrived in Palestine with UNSCOP, to find in Jerusalem a fellow Canadian, informed, well-versed in the problems, and equipped as well, with the vital spiritual dimension of The Return, without which much of its significance would be lost.
Hull became Justice Rand's unofficial advisor and no doubt contributed substantially to the crystallization of the Judge's final stand on the Committee's recommendations: the partition of Palestine and the establishment of a Jewish and an Arab state.

Judicial interpretation of the division of legislative responsibilities found that the allocation implied certain restrictions on provincial power when it came to civil liberties.
In a series of famous cases in the 1950s, Justice Ivan Rand of the Supreme Court of Canada developed the idea of an "implied bill of rights." The bill of rights implied by the division of powers shielded individual rights like freedom of speech from provincial incursions.
In light of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, it is questionable whether this series of precedents has had any lasting impact.
