Richard Kent 1968 Receives Alumni Achievement Award
Richard graduated Phi Beta Kappa, summa cum laude, from Rutgers College where he served as class president. He then graduated from Boston College Law School. Richard, a partner with Meyers, Breiner & Kent, L.L.P. , is a matrimonial lawyer in Fairfield, Conn.
He is a member of Best Lawyers in America and Super Lawyers. Richard has done pioneering work on fathers' rights and has authored nine books, some of which have dealt with custody issues; namely Fighting for Your Children and Solomon's Choice. His passion for sports led Richard to appearances on ESPN, working for CBS on three men's Final Fours, and he has been a consultant to two of the top agency groups—IMG and the NBA. Richard’s sports books include Big East Confidential, Inside Women's College Basketball, and Roger Federer: Back On Top. Richard is involved in the Jewish Community Center in Bridgeport in a fundraising capacity and has spearheaded the annual Schoolboy Classic. He volunteers as a special master in the court system and is on many volunteer boards at Rutgers. Richard shares his passion for the law with his wife, Lisa, who is also a lawyer. Richard has two daughters, Lindsay and Sarah. Sarah attended Hamden Hall in Middle School. The family lives in Westport, Conn. As an aside—upon learning that David Wade 1993, chief of staff for Secretary of State John Kerry, was a fellow award recipient, Richard noted that he and the statesman were law students together at BC back in the seventies. Small world!
