Carson Taylor, LAW ’24, is a 2022 Law & Public Policy Scholar at Temple University Beasley School of Law. Carson Graduated from the University of Kansas in 2020 with a Bachelor of Arts in History and Political Science. While at Kansas, Carson acted as the secretary of the Legal Education Acceleration Program and presented his thesis on the global ramifications of South Africa’s voluntary denuclearization in the early 1990s to the Kansas Historical Society.
Prior to attending Temple Law, Carson worked with The Borgen Project to lobby Congress to increase the foreign aid budget. There, he promoted humanitarian intervention into underdeveloped regions of the globe by persuading representatives to sponsor bills to financially assist education, healthcare, and peacebuilding international organizations.
After completion of this internship, Carson spent a year working for Keystone Human Services to provide individualized legal and medical advocacy for minors who reside in group homes in central Connecticut. In this position, Carson acted as a shift manager who planned educational and entertaining outings to create a sense of normalcy in their lives during the most isolating periods of the COVID-19 pandemic. Carson’s pursuit of a JD arises from the combination of his interests in assisting disadvantaged populations, child welfare, human rights, and national security.
For the summer of 2022, Carson will be interning at the National Association of Council for Children to assist in research on child welfare.
