Kenneth Foard McCallion is a world-renowned civil litigator who has worked on some of the most notable cases in U.S. legal history over the past 50 years. These major cases include the Exxon Valdez oil spill, the Bhopal India Gas Disaster Case, the Holocaust Claims cases, and the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. A graduate of Yale University and Fordham Law School, McCallion began his career as a prosecutor for the U.S. Department of Justice and the New York State Attorney General's Office, specializing in high-profile organized crime, racketeering and counter-intelligence cases. Since entering private practice, McCallion has specialized in international human rights, environmental law, and complex litigation. He is an Adjunct Professor at Cardozo Law School in New York City and has lectured at Fairfield University. A prolific author, he has two new titles coming out in the near future, including Saving The World One Case at a Time, which takes a deep dive into some of the most significant civil cases of his career. He is also the author of Shoreham and the Rise and Fall of the Nuclear Power Industry, The Essential Guide to Donald Trump, Treason & Betrayal: The Rise and Fall of Individual-1, COVID-19: The Virus That Changed America and the World, and Profiles in Courage (and Profiles in Cowardice) in the Trump Era. His other new book, The Marseilles Connection, will be published in early 2023.
