Early life and educationSiegel was born in New York City and raised in New York City and on Long Island. He attended high school in New York, graduating second in his class. He graduated magna cum laude from Hamilton College (New York) in 1967 with a bachelor's degree in Philosophy and Religion.[2] Law SchoolSiegel graduated from UC Berkeley's Boalt Hall in 1970. Student activismSiegel was a student activist in 1967-1970 while he attended UC Berkeley's University of California, Berkeley, School of Law. He was also a leader in the local Students for a Democratic Society.{{Citation needed|date=June 2017}} As UC Berkeley Student President-Elect in 1969, Siegel is known for his role in the student rebellion on "Bloody Thursday," when thousands of students clashed with hundreds of California Highway Patrol officers and Alameda County sheriff's deputies sent by the office of then-California governor Ronald Reagan to assert control over a piece of property known as "People's Park." The 2.8 acre People's Park was, in 1969, in the midst of a stalled redevelopment plan, littered with debris and abandoned cars.[3] During a rally on Sproul Plaza on that day, May 15, 1969, Siegel received the microphone as the crowd of 3,000 agitated to reclaim what was perceived as their community space, when he yelled "Take the park!" His exhortation was perceived as the start of a riot, which featured protestors marching against riot police, who responded with shotgun fire among other acts, killing one and blinding another.[4][5] State Bar of California controversyUpon receiving his J.D. degree from the University of California School of Law in 1970 and passing the California bar examination, Siegel was denied a license to practice law by a subcommittee of the State Bar of California. According to the Long Beach Independent, his admittance to the bar was denied on moral grounds because he allegedly "advocated violence and the seizure of property and lied when he denied advocating those things". Earlier in the year, he had been charged with inciting a riot, but had charges dismissed due to a lack of evidence.[6] Siegel and his lawyer Malcolm Burnstein appealed the subcommittee's decision, taking his appeal to the California Supreme Court, which overruled the State Bar and found that Siegel possessed the requisite "moral character" to practice law.[7] Professional careerSiegel & YeeToday, Siegel is a civil rights attorney at the Oakland-based law firm, Siegel & Yee.[8] In recent years, he has won a series of high-profile sexual harassment and employment discrimination lawsuits,{{specify|date=June 2017}} and has represented clients such as the National Union of Healthcare Workers. He has served as both general counsel and Interim Executive Director of the Pacifica Radio Foundation, and has served as a director on both the Pacifica National Board and the Local Station Board of KPFA-FM in Berkeley. In 2006 he completed an eight-year tenure on the Oakland Unified School District Board of Directors. City of OaklandSiegel, a long-time friend of Oakland Mayor Jean Quan, served as her Legal Adviser until November 14, 2011, when he resigned in protest of her decision to clear protestors associated with Occupy Wall Street from their camp at Frank H. Ogawa Plaza.[9] Siegel subsequently announced, via Twitter: "No longer Mayor Quan's legal advisor. Resigned at 2 am. Support Occupy Oakland, not the 1% and its government facilitators."[10][11] In 2011, Matthai Kurivila of San Francisco Chronicle described Siegel as "one of Oakland's most active and vocal police critics".[12] On January 9, 2014, Siegel announced his candidacy for mayor of Oakland.[13] Seigel was not elected, and Libby Schaaf was sworn in on January 5, 2015. Personal lifeSiegel and his wife, Anne Butterfield Weills, have lived in Oakland since 1977. Weills is an attorney who is listed "of counsel" at Siegel & Yee.[14] Their son, Michael, is also an associate at Siegel & Yee.[15] Weills' son from a previous marriage, Christopher Weills Scheer, is an author and journalist.
