InfoRaymond “Ray” Ku lives in Bainbridge Township with his wife, Melissa, and two children, ages 4 and 2. He is a Professor of Law at Case Western Reserve University School of Law where he specializes in constitutional and intellectual property law, and is Co-Director of the school’s Center for Law, Technology & the Arts. Ray is the author of numerous scholarly articles and the author of one of the leading textbooks on Cyberspace Law. He has been interviewed by local and national media, and was nominated to the Who's Who in Law Education.

Ray is the oldest of two children of Chinese immigrants who immigrated to the United States with little more than the money in their pockets. He was born and raised on Long Island, New York, where he was an honor student, varsity soccer player, captain of the soccer team, class president, captain of the moot court team, the New York State Civil Law Moot Court champion, and performed in school and community theater.

He graduated with Honors in Political Science at Brown University where his undergraduate thesis on public school financing was awarded a prize for the best thesis discussing the principles of free government. In college, Ray was captain of the varsity fencing team, squad captain, New England Men’s Saber Champion, and competed twice in the NCAA fencing championships. He then graduated with honors from New York University School of Law where he was a Leonard Boudin First Amendment Fellow in the Arthur Garfield Hays Civil Liberties Program. Throughout his school years, Ray worked various odd jobs including grocery clerk, warehouse stock boy, file clerk, bartender, and security shuttle driver.

After graduating from law school, Ray clerked for the Honorable Timothy K. Lewis of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. He then practiced law in Washington, D.C., first with Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher (where he worked with Theodore Olson, former Assistant Attorney General to President Ronald Reagan and subsequently Solicitor General to President George W. Bush). He then practiced First Amendment law with the firm of Levine, Pierson, Sullivan & Koch before becoming a professor.

In his spare time, Ray enjoys spending time with his family, participating in practical pistol and 3-gun competitions, and golfing.
