Michael Thomas

Course Leader Bio

I am a retired environmental attorney, graduate of MIT and Yale Law School.  In college I co-authored a book of poetry and photography.  I worked for the Massachusetts legislature after college.  After law school I worked initially for the Environmental Protection Agency, then for two large law firms.  I then ran my own solo practice for twenty-two years.  Over the years I have written thousands of pages of professional product and have taught many continuing legal education courses and presentations.  I have twice participated in the LLAIC memoir writing course.

I have an outline for my own memoir and, through the course, have been filling in the outline with text.
