About Michael Anthony
Michael Anthony Borrelli has combined time inside the classroom and in courtrooms. His career crosses academic leadership and appellate practice, and his admissions span state and federal tribunals. He brings that blend to each matter he accepts.
He served as a law professor and as director of the Academic Law Center at Newbury College in 2008. In that role he taught courses and oversaw academic programming tied to the law center. Colleagues from that period describe a hands-on approach to curriculum and student work, and the position placed him at the intersection of legal education and practical training.
Borrelli is admitted to practice before the Federal Circuit, the 1st Circuit, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and the U.S. Supreme Court. Those credentials allow him to file appeals, petitions, and other pleadings across multiple appellate forums. He has handled written advocacy and courtroom presentation in a range of appellate settings.
Over time he has balanced academic responsibilities with active practice. The academic post at Newbury College sits alongside years of appellate and federal court work. He has pursued cases that require concentrated briefing and oral argument, often involving procedural and jurisdictional questions that arise on appeal.
His practice centers on appellate litigation and federal court matters. He tends to take work that involves detailed legal research, structured brief-writing, and argument before appellate panels. He approaches each file with close attention to precedent and the rules that govern appellate procedure.
Outside formal roles, Borrelli has engaged with students and younger lawyers on the mechanics of appellate practice. He has taught and mentored on topics such as brief drafting and argument technique, reflecting his dual experience as an academic and an advocate.
He remains active in jurisdictions that include the Federal Circuit, the 1st Circuit, Massachusetts, and the U.S. Supreme Court. He currently maintains a practice that includes appellate advocacy and federal litigation.
