Erick G. Kaardal is Founder of Neopopulism.com. Presently, Mr. Kaardal serves as its General Counsel.
Mr. Kaardal was born in Redwood Falls, Minnesota and attended K-12 there. Mr. Kaardal attended Harvard College on an U.S. Army Reserve Officer Training Corps scholarship. He graduated from Harvard College in 1988 with magna cum laude honors in economics. At the same time, he was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Army Reserves.
After college, Mr. Kaardal attended the University of Chicago Law School where he met his future wife Alison Scott. He graduated from the University of Chicago Law School in 1992. After law school, Mr. Kaardal started as an associate lawyer with the law firm of Faegre & Benson in Minneapolis. In 1994, he joined a Minnetonka, Minnesota law firm of Trimble & Associates, Ltd.

Mr. Kaardal is a lawyer with a passion for neo-populism, the rule of law and suing the government. Since 1992, Mr. Kaardal has worked with clients to sue the federal, state and local governments in various state and federal courts. In these David and Goliath contests, Mr. Kaardal asserts that the government has violated its authority, the rule of law and common sense. In Mr. Kaardal's view, too few lawyers take the people's side in litigation against the government -- Mr. Kaardal does.
