Norman Stephan Kinsella (/kɪnˈsɛlə/; born 1965) is an American intellectual property lawyer, author, and deontological [citation needed] anarcho-capitalist.[1] His legal works have been published by Oxford University Press, Oceana Publications, Mises Institute, Quid Pro Books and others.

Education

Born in Prairieville, Louisiana, he attended Louisiana State University where he earned Bachelor of Science (BS) and Master of Science (MS) degrees in electrical engineering, and a Juris Doctor (JD) from the Paul M. Hebert Law Center (formerly known as LSU Law Center). He also obtained an LL.M. at the University of London.

Career

Kinsella was general counsel of Applied Optoelectronics, Inc., of Sugar Land, Texas from 2000 to 2012 and is currently in private practice in Houston, Texas. He was formerly an adjunct scholar of the Ludwig von Mises Institute, a right-libertarian think-tank for the promotion of Rothbardian political thought and the Austrian School of economics, where he was Book Review Editor for the Journal of Libertarian Studies[2] and a faculty member of the Mises Academy.[3] Kinsella also founded the Center for the Study of Innovative Freedom (C4SIF) of which he currently is the Director.[4]

Publications

Kinsella's legal publications include books and articles about patent law, contract law, e-commerce law, international law, and other topics.

Views

Kinsella is a strong opponent of intellectual property,[5] arguing that patents and copyrights should not form part of a proper libertarian law code.[6] He is a proponent of Hans-Hermann Hoppe's theory on argumentation ethics.[7] He is an atheist, having previously been a devout Catholic.[8]
