Ian Klein, B.A., J.D.

(Practitioner)

I am an attorney practicing in Dallas, Texas, and continuing to study the interaction of the law and current events in the context of United States history.

I graduated from the University of Texas at Arlington magna cum laude in Spring 2016 with a bachelor's degree in History, and a minor in English. My undergraduate studies primarily focused on American Constitutional history, and the evolution of United States law alongside its contemporaneous cultural and political paradigms and events, and the United States' growing role in the global community.

I graduated from Texas A&M University School of Law magna cum laude in May 2020, into the fresh hell of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a first-year student, I won Texas A&M's 1L Intramural Moot Court, Mock Trial, and Negotiation Competitions, and would go on to compete in six travelling Moot Court competitions, including winning an ABA Regional Championship. As a third-year, I was elected President of both Texas A&M's Student Bar Association and its Board of Advocates, and was a member of the Texas A&M Law Review Board of Editors. Before graduating, I was named to the National Order of Barristers and the Order of the Coif.

After graduating with my J.D., I worked as a judicial law clerk for the Honorable W. Keith Watkins and Myron H. Thompson, both Senior District Judges for the United States District Court for the Middle District of Alabama. I returned to Dallas following my clerkship, where I have worked as a litigator in the areas of labor and employment, creditor's rights, personal injury defense, intellectual property, oil and gas, healthcare, real estate, and business torts.
