I am Kerin Coughlin, the instructor of these courses. I am in the Law and Paralegal Studies program because it’s my job! 🙂 I chose it as my job because I love law, and I love teaching. Many moons ago, I was a junior high school Social Studies teacher, then I became a lawyer, then I started teaching law part time while I was practicing law full time, and guess what? I realized I liked my part-time job better than my full-time job. So I switched it up, and thankfully I found this great position at City Tech. I’ve been teaching here for six years now.
Something I want you to know about me is that I love my cats. They’re brothers, and they’re both named Darryl which makes my life easier. You’ll hear me talk about them a lot, and I’ll probably bore you with pictures of them. Here’s one that’s a few years old but they still pretty much look the same, except fatter:
I look forward to working with you and getting to know you all this semester, in these crazy circumstances!
Cheers,
Prof. C.
Do you ever think of reconsidering to work as a full time lawyer any time soon? Have you ever had a case? What drove you into law?
