Kevin E. Kennedy

Our first encounter was on one of Kevin's many triumphant days during law school. Kevin, then a second year student, had advanced to the final round of the Campbell Competition, the moot court competition in which students brief and argue a case as if before the United States Supreme Court. I was one of the five "justices" who heard the case. The others were the dean and three distinguished appellate judges.

Four students presented oral arguments and all were fine, but, Kevin's, the "Justices" agreed, was simply of a different order.
