Early Age edit

Miguel was born in Calceta, Manabí Province; as the fifth of the 14 offspring of Quinche Félix and Jacinta López; recognized merchants and politicians in their town. At 12 years old, he moved to Guayaquil, and early radicated in the Gómez Rendón and Chile streets, and moved to other locations later. He began to study in the Cristobal Colon and Tarqui Colleges and he incorporated as Doctor in Jurisprudence in the Guayaquil University.[1]

His first labor in the Judicial Function was as amanuensis in the juvenile court, later he began to work as First Judge of the Criminal in Guayaquil, and in the 90s he ascend to the Third Criminal Court. In 2002 he was called by the Ecuadorian Supreme Court of Justice to contest for the presidency of the Guayas Superior Court of Justice. In his labor as president, he has a conflict with the president Lucio Gutiérrez, who said that "the courts should be burned", phrase that was rejected by Félix López who explained Gutiérrez that his expressions were offenses that can be punished.[2][3]
