About Kristine
Kristine Jones earned a B.A. in political science and philosophy from the University of Alabama in Huntsville in 2011. She then moved into public administration, completing an M.P.A. at Auburn University in 2013. Jones returned to law study and obtained an LL.M. in dispute resolution from Faulkner University’s Thomas Goode Jones School of Law in 2016.
Her early work combined fieldwork and research. In 2009 she served as a process server and researcher for Watson, McKinney, and Artrip, LLP. In 2012 she held roles as a graduate teaching assistant at Auburn and as a research assistant with the Colorado Secretary of State’s Elections Division. That experience led to a position in 2014 as a researcher in the Alabama Secretary of State Elections Division.
Jones gained hands-on legal experience through a series of clerkships and service roles. She was a law clerk at One Place Family Justice Center in 2015 and at the Alabama Law Institute in 2016. In the same year she served as a mediator for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit Court. The following year she worked as a consultant for R & D Consulting, Inc.
Her training and certifications reflect a steady interest in mediation and dispute resolution. She is a registered Alabama mediator through the Alabama Center for Dispute Resolution and has maintained that registration since 2017. She holds memberships with the Montgomery County Bar Association and has served as a volunteer lawyer with the Montgomery County Bar Foundation since 2018. She is also affiliated with the Alabama Center for Dispute Resolution, where her mediator registration is recorded.
Jones is admitted to practice in Alabama and in the federal courts that serve the state: the United States District Courts for the Northern, Middle, and Southern Districts of Alabama. She brings courtroom and alternative dispute experience to her current work. She now operates The KJ Law Office, handling civil matters, mediation, and dispute resolution in state and federal venues.
