J.D., 2010

25, Washington, District of Columbia

Kevin is currently a law clerk for a United States district judge. In May 2010, he graduated, cum laude, from American University Washington College of Law, where he was the editor in chief of the Administrative Law Review (ALR), the most widely distributed student-run law review in the country.

In March 2009, Kevin published an article analyzing FDA’s potential regulation of the tobacco industry, arguing that the enabling legislation under congressional consideration was heavily influenced by Philip Morris and would effect an industry capture of FDA. See Kevin Gauntt Barker, Comment, Thank You for Regulating: Why Philip Morris’s Embrace of FDA Regulation Helps the Company but Harms the Agency, 61 Admin. L. Rev. 197 (2009). Kevin’s article has received critical praise from Dr. Michael Siegel, a long-time tobacco expert and professor at Boston University’s School of Public Health, and earned him the Administrative Law Review Award, given by the law school’s faculty for the best work published in ALR by a member of the graduating class.

Kevin received a B.A. in history from the University of Georgia, graduating magna cum laude in 2007.
