Career

Kinsella was general counsel of Applied Optoelectronics, Inc., of Sugar Land, Texas from 2000 to 2012 and was in private practice in Houston, Texas. He was formerly an adjunct scholar of the Ludwig von Mises Institute, a right-libertarian think-tank for the promotion of Rothbardian political thought and the Austrian School of economics, where he was Book Review Editor for the Journal of Libertarian Studies[7] and a faculty member of the Mises Academy.[8] Kinsella also founded the Center for the Study of Innovative Freedom (C4SIF) of which he currently is the Director.[9] In May 2022 he was elected to the Libertarian Party Judicial Committee, but was subsequently disqualified due to being two months short of the 4 year Libertarian Party membership requirement to hold the office. As of August 2022, he is eligible and it's believed that he'll be able to be appointed by the LP Judicial Committee to fill the vacancy caused by his ineligible run in May 2022.[10]
