Kerry Hunt works in Pacific Legal Foundation’s Separation of Powers practice, where she defends individual liberty against unconstitutional abuses of the administrative state. Although a long-time lover of limited government, her journey to PLF truly began during her college years as a constitutional studies minor and Tocqueville Fellow at the University of Notre Dame, where she grew to more fully understand and appreciate the Constitution’s ability to secure freedom and facilitate human flourishing—if we let it.
More recently, Kerry spent several years exploring the legislative and judicial branches of government, serving as general counsel to U.S. Senator Pat Toomey and as a law clerk to the Honorable Mark S. Norris in the Western District of Tennessee. Before that, she returned to Notre Dame for law school, where she was a member of the Trial Team, an articles editor on Notre Dame’s Journal of Law, Ethics & Public Policy, and vice president of her student chapter of the Federalist Society.
While not at work, Kerry enjoys reading biographies of U.S. presidents, visiting Civil War battlefields, and going home to see her family in Memphis, Tennessee. A private pilot, she also likes to take to the skies and see the world from a different perspective.
