  André Albert Morin has the privilege of having grown up and studied in his riding for the first 25 years of his life. André attended primary school at École François de Laval, high school at École Ladauversière and CEGEP at Collège Bois-de-Boulogne. Later, André enrolled at the University of Ottawa to study law.

As part of his professional career, André was a prosecutor for the Attorney General of Quebec for several years. He pleaded hundreds of cases, many of them before juries. He then obtained a research position with the Law Reform Commission of Canada, where he helped draft a federal code of criminal procedure. In 1989, he joined the ranks of the federal Department of Justice, in Ottawa, where he pleaded cases in several provinces in labor and disciplinary law for the RCMP. He then moved to the International Assistance Group, where he had the privilege of participating in bilateral negotiations concerning the implementation of criminal law treaties. He returned to Montreal to plead in all Quebec jurisdictions, in cases involving criminal prosecution, extradition, organized crime and anti-terrorism.
