Notable Cases

Baraby became famous when he successful directed a case against the Lev Tahor Jewish Ultra Orthodox Community. Around 20 Child service workers discovered some houses that were dirty, had 4-5 children sleeping in one bedroom, some mattresses soaked in urine, and children with fungus on their feet. They began weekly visits. Right before the Judge's ruling to remove 14 children into foster homes, the community fled to Ontario and some members eventually fled the country.
