Michael Kennedy

2024 Emerging Leader

Kennedy, Michael

I am Michael Kennedy, Assistant Public Defender at the Crawford County Public Defender’s Office. I’ve been working as a public defender for (at the time of writing this) a little over a month! Public defense was what I intended to do when I went to law school, and I’m thrilled to be able to make a career of it.

My background is that I graduated from Pitt Law School, having completed my undergrad at Susquehanna University where I majored in Political Science. The bulk of my work before going to Law School was in electoral politics, where I worked as a campaign organizer.
