Amanda Stearns

Amanda Stearns is a trial lawyer in Charleston, South Carolina and works alongside fellow KTI faculty Kevin Smith. From Amanda’s earliest days in law school, she knew she wanted to be in the courtroom fighting for justice. Amanda’s competitive spirit can be traced back to the days when she competed internationally on the equestrian circuit and won two national gold medals in dressage. Through hard work and long hours of research and preparation, Amanda applies the same dedication and intensity to her cases. After many role-playing sessions and a lot of persistence, Kevin and Amanda received their $1.4 million non-negotiable demand for their client shortly before trial.

Amanda recently graduated from Keenan Trial Institute and immediately became a Faculty member for the Undergraduate Mediation course.
