Caleb is a devoted advocate for dignity rights. He was born in Kansas, and has lived his entire life there. Caleb has always been fascinated by other cultures, societies, and legal systems from all over the world. Additionally, the protection of individual and human rights has always been a passion of his, so it is no surprise that he became acutely interested in constitutional rights and the right to human dignity while studying at Washburn University School of Law. Caleb is dedicated to helping advance a fundamental right that recognizes the equal worth of all people -- a right that is either enumerated or implicit in a majority of constitutions, globally, but curiously absent from our own, here in the United States.

Currently, Caleb is pursuing his J.D. at Washburn, where he works as a research assistant for Professor James R. May. Through his work with Professor May, Caleb has helped research cases from jurisdictions all over the world which implicate the right to human dignity, and his current duties involve helping research the development of this right in U.S. jurisprudence, both at the federal and sub-national levels. Caleb is also enrolled in Professor May's Dignity Rights Seminar this semester, where he is a member of a small group of students who are working to petition an international judicial body on behalf of residents of Cité Soleil, Haiti, for several human rights violations, including the rights to human dignity.

Caleb's continued commitment to the advancement of human rights is highlighted by his ongoing work promoting principles of human dignity, both as a student and a research assistant. He looks forward to carrying-on that commitment, even after completing law school.
