Stephan Kinsella is an American intellectual property lawyer and libertarian legal theorist. His electronically-published works are primarily published on his blog and websites associated with the Ludwig von Mises Institute and anarcho-capitalist organizations. Born in Prairieville, Louisiana, he attended Louisiana State University where he earned Bachelor of Science (BS) and Master of Science (MS) degrees in electrical engineering, and a Juris Doctor (JD) from the Paul M. Hebert Law Center. He also obtained an LL.M. at the University of London.
Kinsella's legal publications include books and articles about patent law, contract law, e-commerce law, international law and other topics. Kinsella has also published and lectured on a variety of libertarian topics, often combining libertarian and legal analysis. Kinsella's views on contract theory, causation and the law, intellectual property, and rights theory (in particular his estoppel theory) are his main contributions to libertarian theory. He has authored the books, Protecting Foreign Investment Under International Law: Legal Aspects of Political Risk (1997), Online Contract Formation (2004), International Investment, Political Risk, and Dispute Resolution: A Practitioner's Guide (with Noah Rubins) (2005), and Against Intellectual Property published by the Ludwig von Mises Institute in 2008.
