While he is engaged in contract negotiation and drafting now, he is an experienced criminal and civil litigator, having both tried cases and oral appellate arguments.

Two years later, while still an undergraduate, Ned was admitted to the Graduate Acting Program at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts.

Kennedy II and enrolled in Northeastern University School of Law.
