We have performed a photometric search for brown dwarf candidates in Taurus using the CFH12K wide-field mosaic camera. We are in the process of obtaining follow-up spectroscopy of likely brown dwarf candidates. We summarize the current state of the photometric analysis and the optical spectroscopy obtained to date. We also discuss the evidence for accretion in these systems.
