About Ambrose
Ambrose Stearns earned his law degree from the Paul M. Hebert Law Center at Louisiana State University in 2019 after completing undergraduate studies in politics at the University of Dallas in 2014. He arrived in the legal profession with the academic credentials common to many young attorneys, combining a liberal arts foundation with a professional legal education. The sequence of degrees suggests a steady move toward courtroom practice and appellate work.
He began his professional career soon after law school and took a position as an associate at Kean Miller LLP. In that role he joined a team of attorneys who handle a range of matters in both state and federal forums. As an associate he has contributed to case preparation, drafted pleadings and motions, managed discovery tasks and assisted in trial readiness. His work has required attention to procedural detail and an ability to translate complex legal points into written work product for supervising partners and clients.
Stearns is admitted to practice in Louisiana and before the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. Those admissions allow him to appear in state courts across Louisiana and to press appeals at the federal appellate level when matters warrant. He is comfortable operating in both state and federal procedural regimes, and his practice reflects the dual demands of local practice and appellate briefing.
His membership in the Louisiana State and Lafayette Bar Associations keeps him connected to the legal community in the state. He also maintains membership in the Christian Legal Society. Those affiliations provide routine professional contacts and access to continuing legal education and local bar resources.
Colleagues describe the daily work of an associate in a firm like Kean Miller as a mixture of client-facing tasks and behind-the-scenes preparation. Stearns’ responsibilities have included legal research, motion practice, and coordination with expert witnesses where cases required technical support. He has also assisted on appeals, helping to distill trial records into appellate briefs and to prepare arguments for oral argument when called upon.
He currently practices as an associate at Kean Miller LLP, handling litigation and appellate matters in Louisiana state courts and before the Fifth Circuit.
