Florise R. Neville-Ewell is a seasoned lawyer, academic, and pro bono advocate. She currently teaches property, ethics, and contracts at Western Michigan University-Cooley Law School. Prior to becoming an academic, Professor Neville-Ewell practiced law in the private and public sectors. Immediately after clerking for the Honorable Julian A. Cook, Jr., in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, she was an associate at Sidley, Austin LLP in Chicago, Illinois and Honigman LLP in Detroit, Michigan. Thereafter, in the public sector, she was General Counsel for the Detroit Housing Commission and Chief of Contracts for the City of Detroit. Through those public and private practice experiences, Professor Neville-Ewell has expertise in resolving matters related to commercial contracts, residential and commercial financing, commercial, municipal, and residential housing development, generally, and affordable housing, in particular. In conjunction with clerking, practicing law, and teaching, Professor Neville-Ewell has simultaneously been dedicated to educating the public about legal issues. Prior to establishing the 10CORE® Law Society, she hosted cable and radio programs, was a special columnist for the Michigan Chronicle newspaper, and a ghost writer for the former Charter One Bank. Along with establishing the 10CORE Law Society, those platforms have enabled Professor Neville-Ewell to act as a catalyst to promote what she calls “housing literacy.” Although she has received awards and acknowledgments, the most recent one named her a ”Fellow” of the American Bar Foundation (ABF), a “global honor society.” Membership in the ABF is only available to “one percent of lawyers licensed to practice in each jurisdiction.”
