Kenneth Kettering Visiting Fall 2009 Associate Professor of Law New York Law School Email: kkettering@nyls.edu Telephone & Office Publications

Kenneth Kettering is visiting the Law School from New York Law School (NYLS), where he teaches courses in bankruptcy law, commercial transactions, and corporations. Before joining the faculty at NYLS, Professor Kettering practiced law for nearly 20 years with Reed Smith in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he was a partner in the firm’s business and finance group.

Professor Kettering’s research focuses on commercial and financial law, particularly the continual dialectic between the legal systems built by law-crafters and the machinations of the marketplace to deal outside of those systems. He is vice chair of the Secured Lending Committee of the American Bar Association’s Business Law Section, a member of the Uniform Laws Committee of the City of New York’s Association of the Bar, and a fellow of the American College of Commercial Finance Lawyers. He previously served on the Council of the Business Law Section of the Pennsylvania Bar Association for more than a decade, and played a major role in revising Pennsylvania’s commercial and business laws.

He will teach Commercial Law I and Commercial Law II during the fall 2009 semester.
