Lazarus Phillips

Lazarus Phillips, OBE QC (October 10, 1895 – December 30, 1986) was a Canadian lawyer and Senator.

Born in Montreal, Quebec, he served with the Canadian Expeditionary Force in Siberia during World War I.

In 1918, he received a Bachelor of Civil Law from McGill University and was called to the Quebec Bar in 1920.

A member of the Liberal Party of Canada, he ran unsuccessfully for the House of Commons of Canada in the riding of Cartier in the 1943 by-election, losing to Communist Party member Fred Rose (he also garnered more votes than future NDP leader, David Lewis).

The Senator Lazarus Phillips Chair in General History in the Faculty of Jewish Studies at Bar-Ilan University is named in his honour.
