Kevin Michael Dorris

Posted on: Dec 31, 2011

Kevin Michael Dorris passed away suddenly on February 7, 2011. He was born March 30, 1964. Mr. Dorris graduated cum laude from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in 1986. He graduated with honors from the U.T. College of Law in 1989. Mr. Dorris served as the Articles Editor and Student Materials Editor for the Tennessee Law Review while in law school. Mr. Dorris was in private practice for several years before coming to work in 2001 as a law clerk for Judge D. Michael Swiney of the Tennessee Court of Appeals. Mr. Dorris continued as senior law clerk for Judge Swiney up to his death. Mr. Dorris also was a highly respected adjunct professor for the U.T. College of Law for several years up to the date of his death. He was so highly thought of on the Court of Appeals that when Judge Susano found himself temporarily short a law clerk from time to time, it was a common occurrence for Judge Susano to recruit Mr. Dorris to work additional hours part-time for him until Judge Susano hired a new law clerk. Mr. Dorris was an animal lover, especially of his dogs. Mr. Dorris is survived by numerous family members, close friends, and colleagues.
