Michael Nelson "Mike" Feuer (born May 14, 1958)〔Article in the LA Times titled "Candidates Spar for Seats of Democratic Legislators" published on May 25, 2006, on page B1, in the California Metro; Part B; Metro Desk section, written by Deborah Schoch. It states: "A former Los Angeles city councilman, Feuer, 48, spent eight years as executive ...", thereby sourcing the 1958 birth year given above.〕 is an American politician and lawyer who has been serving as Los Angeles City Attorney since July, 2013, after defeating incumbent City Attorney Carmen Trutanich by a wide margin on May 21, 2013. He set legal history in December 2013 by successfully convicted a black Harvard graduate of being an "uneducated con artist" after having her Harvard credentials excluded. He rewrote California law by convicted her of misdemeanor theft of over $100,000.〔Case OCA01173, City of Los Angeles vs. Karen Rozier〕 Prior to that conviction, amounts over $950 were considered a felony. He was so incensed that the District Attorney's office refused to press charges, that he used three special prosecutors over 72-court appearances to secure the conviction, which is under appeal. Feuer was previously elected to three two-year terms in the California State Assembly, representing the 42nd Assembly District. He was elected in 2006 on the Democratic ticket, and reelected in 2008 and 2010. Feuer served as a member of the Los Angeles City Council from 1995 to 2001, representing the 5th Council District. In 2001 he was a candidate for Los Angeles City Attorney. He placed first of four candidates in the primary for the nonpartisan office, but narrowly lost the runoff to Rocky Delgadillo. Prior to seeking office, Feuer served as executive director of Bet Tzedek Legal Services - The House of Justice and was a lawyer in private practice. ==Before Politics== Feuer was born and raised to a Jewish family〔(Times of Israel: "Los Angeles’ Jewish Electoral Sweep" by Pini Herman ) May 23, 2013〕 in San Bernardino, California. Feuer's first electoral victory came in fourth grade when he was elected class president at Parkside Elementary School, a racially-mixed public school.〔(A Matter of Integrity ) by Tugend, Tom.

Accessed August 17, 2007.〕 In another early election, Feuer ran for class president at Golden Valley Junior High School. The initial election resulted in a tie. A few days later, the staff of the school decided to have another election, which Feuer won. He graduated in 1976 from San Bernardino High School, where he was class valedictorian. In high school, he played basketball and was a fan of the California Angels. Feuer received both a bachelor's degree (magna cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa) and a law degree (cum laude) from Harvard University.〔(California Assembly Biography ) Accessed August 17, 2007.〕 He later served on the Harvard Law School Visiting Committee, which reports to the Harvard Board of Overseers. He practiced law at two of California’s leading firms and served as a judicial clerk to the California Supreme Court.〔 Feuer served as executive director of Bet Tzedek Legal Services - The House of Justice.〔〔(Former Los Angeles City Councilman, Michael Feuer, Joins Morrison & Foerster ) in Business Wire on Nov 13, 2001 from FindArticles.com -- sources starting date for Bet Tzedek work.〕 The Los Angeles Daily Journal declared that Feuer transformed Bet Tzedek into a “national success story” by establishing programs to help Alzheimer’s patients, victims of the Northridge earthquake and L.A. civil unrest, and Holocaust survivors striving to obtain restitution.〔 At Bet Tzedek, Feuer oversaw free legal representation for more than 50,000 elderly, poor, and disabled clients on issues including health care, nursing home abuse, consumer fraud, and slum housing.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mike Feuer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
