Amii Castle
Director at Large
Amii Castle, Professor of Law, Business, and Political Science. After I graduated from KU law school in 1997, I practiced law for twenty years in downtown Kansas City. I represented a wide array of clients at both plaintiff and defense firms, specializing in commercial and class-action litigation. In addition to private law practice, I served as a law clerk to three federal judges. After two decades of law practice, I decided to pursue my dream of teaching. I teach two classes at the law school: Electronic Discovery I and Advanced Electronic Discovery. In my Electronic Discovery classes, I provide law students with the knowledge and expertise they need to become skilled attorneys in the digital age. I also teach Business Law and Constitutional Law to undergraduate students, and Business Law and Ethics to MBA students.
