About Dr. Kevin
Dr. Kevin Marshall combines training in law and economics across a long academic and consulting career. He earned a B.A. in economics from Knox College in 1982, completed his J.D. at Emory University School of Law in 1985, and later took a Ph.D. at the University of Texas at Dallas, awarded in 1993. Those degrees shape the two strands of his work: legal education and economic analysis.
Marshall joined the faculty at the University of La Verne College of Law and Public Service in 2004. He has taught courses that bridge doctrine and empirical methods, and he has continued scholarly work in law and economics. In 2009 he added a consulting role at Econrus, Inc., serving as an economic consultant. That role aligns with his registration as a forensic economist, a credential he has held since 2006 through the American Rehabilitation Economics Association.
His standing in both professions is reflected in memberships across a wide range of organizations. He belongs to mainstream legal associations such as the American Bar Association and the Texas Bar Association, and he is a fellow of the Texas Bar Foundation. He also holds memberships in the Dallas Bar Association and is listed in the National Registry of Whos Who in Law. On the economics side he is a member of the American Economic Association, the Econometric Society, and the American Law & Economics Association. He also participates in groups that sit at the intersection of policy, mathematics and political science, including the Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management, the American Political Science Association and the Mathematical Association of America.
Marshall has taken on editorial and organizational responsibilities as well. Since 2010 he has served as Editor-in-Chief of the Pacific Southwest Academy of Legal Studies in Business. That post complements his academic appointment and his ongoing participation in professional conferences and panels. He has maintained a mixed portfolio of classroom teaching, scholarly publication and applied economic work for litigation and policy analyses.
He is known among peers for combining doctrinal legal training with quantitative economic tools. In recent years that combination has centered on forensic economic assessment, law-and-economics research and legal education. He continues to teach at the University of La Verne while providing economic consulting services through Econrus, Inc., and maintaining active membership in the professional organizations that connect law, economics and public policy.
His current practice concentrates on forensic economics, law-and-economics scholarship, and teaching.
