About ACS-CHAL Forensic Lawyer-Scientist Kevin Sheneberger from Texas
Kevin graduated from American University in Washington D.C. with a double major in interdisciplinary government studies and international economics. Shortly thereafter, he moved to the rural village of Macha, Zambia, researching the intersection of social dynamics and economic decision making in resource-limited communities. After publishing his research, he worked as an illustrator and writer, producing HIV educational materials throughout Zambia for the Catholic Medical Missions Board.
Kevin earned his law degree from Southern Methodist University, receiving honors for his pro-bono work with Legal Aid of Northwest Texas. He was active in negotiations, moot-court, and mock trial competitions both on and off campus, and was inducted into the Order of the Barristers for excellence in oral advocacy. While in law school, he co-founded SMU’s chapter of The Justice Initiative, a national organization in partnership with Howard and Harvard University law schools dedicated to confronting racial and social injustice in both the criminal justice system and the practice of law. He got his first taste of “real” law practice defending clients as a student-attorney through SMU’s Criminal Defense Clinic, and was one of two students selected as members of the Sarah T. Hughes North Texas Federal Criminal Law Inn of Court.
As an attorney, his professional memberships include the Texas State Bar, the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association, and the National Lawyers Guild. He co-authored chapters for the upcoming edition of Texas DWI Manual, and also co-authored a 2023 Intoxication Case Law update for State Bar of Texas Advanced Criminal Law Course.
