Judge Thomas A. Teodosio graduated from The University of Akron with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in 1979. Thereafter, he received a Juris Doctor Degree from The University of Akron School of Law in 1982. That same year Judge Teodosio was admitted to the Ohio bar as well as the bar for the United States District Court, Northern District of Ohio and the United States Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit. In 1986 he was authorized to practice before the United States Supreme Court.

Prior to beginning his judicial career, Judge Teodosio was in the private practice of law for 25 years. He was a partner in the law firm of Teodosio, Manos & Ward where he started his legal career in 1982. His law practice was general in nature, but focused heavily on trial work, both civil and criminal, including capital litigation. While in private practice, he served on the Summit County Trial Lawyers Association Board of Trustees and was a member of the Ohio Academy of Trial Lawyers. As an attorney, Judge Teodosio participated in programs that provided pro-bono legal services at the Hospice Care Center and through the Western Reserve Volunteer Legal Services.

In November 2000, Judge Teodosio was elected to serve on Summit County Council and won re-election in 2004. He was elected as President of Council in 2003 and was twice chosen to serve as Vice President. While on Council, he chaired the Finance, Public Works and Public Safety Committees and served as Vice Chairman of the Planning, Buildings and Economic Development Committee. As a Councilman, Judge Teodosio chaired the Summit County Predatory Lending Task Force and sponsored many pieces of legislation, including the creation of the Summit County Office of Consumer Affairs.

In November 2006, Judge Teodosio was elected Summit County Common Pleas Court Judge. The General Division Judges elected Judge Teodosio as the Presiding Judge for 2010, 2011 and 2012.

In addition to his regular general division docket, Judge Teodosio presides over the Summit County Felony Drug Court. The Drug Court is a separate, specialized docket in which non-violent, drug-dependent offenders plead guilty to their offenses and are then provided intense, court-supervised treatment over an 18-24 month period with random drug testing and mandatory substance abuse/mental health programming. In 2008, the Court was awarded a federal SAMHSA grant that has resulted in the addition of enhanced programming available to Drug Court clients, including employment services, cognitive skills programming, mental health screening, crisis intervention counseling, anger management classes, family education programming and financial management classes. Participants must have police and prosecutor approval prior to entering the program. In order to graduate from the program, participants must abstain from the use of alcohol and drugs and otherwise demonstrate that they have become rehabilitated and are prepared to serve as a positive influence on our community. If the offender successfully completes the Program, their "guilty" plea is vacated and the case is dismissed. Offenders who fail to successfully complete the Program are sentenced on their felony conviction.

Judge Teodosio has also presided over court in the community at the Fugitive Safe Surrender sessions in 2007 and 2009. These court sessions resulted in over 1,100 individuals turning themselves in to law enforcement over the four-day period each year. The United States Marshal stated that Akron's program was one of the most successful Fugitive Safe Surrender operations to be conducted by the Marshals Service.

He is a member of the American Judges Association; the Ohio Common Pleas Judges Association; the Ohio Judicial Conference (Specialized Dockets Committee member); the Ohio State Bar Association; and the Justinian Forum. Judge Teodosio also serves on the Local Pro Bono Committee for the Ohio State Bar Association's Judicially Led Appellate District Pro Bono Project.
