Kevin is a New York Law School graduate and currently works as an Intel Professor of Law at North Carolina Central School of Law. Kevin’s journey is international, inspirational, and innovative in every way possible! From working as a lawyer in Japan to research into the intersection between the Law and AI, Kevin delivers on one of our longest episodes ever!
Kevin and I started at New York Law School, at Colgate University, receiving both his bachelor’s and master’s, while also working for a newspaper, a job that would be a huge help for his future Law School experience. We then came to his introduction to New York Law School, in the middle of hating and loving the experience, but were able to make lifelong friends and take a deep dive into what the law had to offer.
Kevin then spoke about his illustrious post-graduation experiences. First, working as a Law Clerk at the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, Kevin would see the likes of future Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito and renowned Lawyer Leon Higginbotham. Following this, Kevin would take his talents to Tokyo, Japan. The learning curve would be tough, but Kevin speaks on his amazing experience, immersing himself in Japanese Law, and understanding and cultivating the unique professional culture they have.
Kevin would go on to speak about his post-Japan adventures, which included earning his Master’s in Religion and Religious Studies from the University of Chicago Divinity School, as well as his PhD in Social and Political Ethics from the University of Chicago.
We then came leading up to today, where Kevin would work as a Law Professor at numerous schools, starting the Innovation Institute at Campbell University School of Law, as well as his current position as an Intel Professor of Law at North Carolina Central School of Law.
