Appointments are still available to connect with Wasserstein Fellow Kevin Jason, Deputy Director of Strategic Initiatives, NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. (“LDF”), who will be on campus Tuesday through Thursday next week.
At LDF, Kevin leads and supervises racial justice litigation and other forms of advocacy in various areas of law. He has argued school desegregation and qualified immunity cases before several federal courts of appeals. He is currently leading a putative class action challenging the NYPD’s racially discriminatory anti-gang enforcement policies and practices. Generally, his docket focuses on police practices and educational equity matters that combine impact litigation with policymaking, community organizing, and strategic communications. Before joining LDF, Kevin worked at the ACLU of New York (New York Civil Liberties Union). Immediately after law school, Kevin served as a law clerk to the Hon. Steven M. Gold of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (retired) and to the Hon. Andrew L. Carter, Jr. of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
Kevin is the final Wasserstein Fellow of the 25-26 academic year. He is excited to speak with students about racial justice, impact litigation and appellate advocacy, lawyering as a first-generation person of color, and more. Sign up today and/or attend his community discussion Racial Justice Advocacy in Uncertain Times.
