Lewis attended Hackney Downs School, then St John's College, Cambridge, at which he was the youngest Wrangler in 30 years. He then studied at the University of London, before becoming a barrister at Middle Temple, in 1932.[1][2]
A supporter of the Labour Party, Lewis was active in the Society of Labour Lawyers,[1] and served as an alderman on Battersea Metropolitan Borough Council. At the 1935 UK general election, he stood in Reigate, taking 26% of the vote against a single opponent.[2]
Lewis served in the Royal Air Force during World War II.[1] After the war, he returned to law, and also stood in the 1951 UK general election in Brentford and Chiswick, taking a close second place, with 48% of the vote.[2]
Lewis became a Queen's Counsel in 1969, and retired in 1982.[1] His son, John Lewis, became a solicitor and businessperson.[3]
