Maximilien Polak (December 5, 1930, in Leiden, The Netherlands) is a former judge and politician in the Canadian province of Quebec. He arrived in Canada in 1952, where he attended the Université de Montréal, earning a degree in law in 1958.[1]
Polak served as a municipal court judge in Cote Saint Luc from 1969 to 1979.
In 1981, Polak ventured into politics, and was elected to the Quebec National Assembly as a Liberal, representing the district of Sainte-Anne. He was re-elected in 1985, and served as the deputy whip. In 1989, he chose not to run again, and instead became a judge of the Quebec Superior Court. He served as a judge from 1991 to 2000, at which point he retired; however, he served as an "ad hoc" judge from 2001 to 2005.
