Cooley Law School’s Kimble Center for Legal Drafting names new graduate fellow

The Kimble Center for Legal Drafting at Cooley Law School has announced Kristin Duffy’s appointment as its most recent graduate fellow. She will serve during the 2024-2025 academic year.

Duffy graduated summa cum laude in May. While a student at Cooley, she was awarded an honors scholarship, served as associate editor on the Cooley Law Review, and participated in Cooley’s Sixty-Plus Estate Planning Clinic. She also assisted Professor Joe Kimble with projects, including editing the second edition of “Writing for Dollars, Writing to Please: The Case for Plain Language in Business, Government, and Law,” and revising the template for the Center’s Durable Power of Attorney.

Duffy graduated from Hope College and earned a master of arts from the Cooperstown Graduate Program in history museum studies at SUNY Oneonta.

She is employed by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation as its senior contract manager.

The Kimble Center was created by Cooley Law School in 2018. Its mission is to produce and make available — to attorneys and consumers — legal documents that are clear and easily understandable.
