Judging As I See It with Senior District Judge John L. Kane
Senior U.S. District Court Judge John Kane talks about his forty years on the federal bench—why he became a judge, the drama of the courtroom, and the foibles of trial lawyers.
John L. Kane was appointed to the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado by President Jimmy Carter in 1977. He received a B.A. in English Literature from the University of Colorado in 1958 and his law degree from the University of Denver in 1960. He has taught law and philosophy at graduate and undergraduate levels at the University of Colorado and the University of Denver, and was a visiting lecturer at Trinity College in Dublin.
