Michael Tewell worked briefly as a professional actor; a radio disk jockey and news director; and as a newspaper reporter-all before attending Kent State University at the age of twenty-five. At Kent State University, he received his Master of Arts in International Relations in 1979 and wrote his thesis on international terrorism (Ideological Terrorism: An Analysis of the Capability and Will of Transnational Terrorist Groups to Attack the United States, 1979).
He was admitted into Kent State Graduate College after his sophomore year and is one of the few college students to ever receive a master's degree without receiving a bachelor's degree. Tewell earned his Juris Doctorate degree from The National Law Center at The George Washington University in Washington, D.C. in 1982.
Rather that stay in Washington, D.C to work in national politics or the federal government, Tewell chose a legal career ensuring more direct contact with people's lives. He served twenty-five years as a trial lawyer defending the poor, the mentally ill, juveniles and veterans at the Office of Public Defender in Florida (Sixth Judicial Circuit).
In more than 30 years of practicing law, Tewell tried over 140 jury trials including homicides, manslaughter and other serious felonies and misdemeanors. He assisted in many other jury trials in a mentoring role and organized a trial practice clinic to teach new defense lawyers trial preparation techniques, pretrial motion practice, trial tactics and trial legal procedure needed to effectively represent clients at trial.
Since his retirement, Tewell enjoys life with his wife (also a criminal defense lawyer), their teenaged son, and a precocious cockapoo. His spare time is dedicated to writing on varied topics of interest, including spirituality, law, science and politics.lihat lebih sedikit
