Robert Rotenberg (born April 21, 1953) is a Canadian criminal lawyer and writer, based in Toronto. His extensive experience as a criminal defence lawyer informed his critically acclaimed first novel, ''Old City Hall''. He currently practices as part of the association of Rotenberg Shidlowski Jesin . == Career == Rotenberg studied English literature at the University of Toronto, and then earned his law degree at Osgoode Hall Law School. He went to the London School of Economics for a masters degree in International Law, and traveled Europe on various scholarships . The influences of the literary realm and the legal profession have emerged throughout his career. While in Europe in the early 1980s, he was the managing editor of English-language magazine ''Passion, The Magazine of Paris''. When he returned to Canada, he and a partner founded and published ''T.O. The Magazine of Toronto'', which ran for six years and folded in 1988 . After brief stints as a film executive and a CBC Radio producer, Rotenberg returned to law. He and associates Alvin Shidlowski and Jacob Jesin have had a criminal law practice in Toronto since the early 1990s defending, as Rotenberg describes it, "everything from murder to shoplifting." Cases attracting particular attention have included the defence in 2007 of an Ontario College of Art and Design student who planted a fake bomb and posted a YouTube video about it as part of an art project, which in turn prompted an evacuation during a gala fundraiser at the Royal Ontario Museum . Rotenberg has been reducing the tie he spends practicing law, saying he plans to write 20 legal thrillers set in Toronto. 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「Robert Rotenberg」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
