Jordan Brooks Chatfield was born and raised in San Diego, CA. After graduating Torrey Pines High School in 2002, Jordan enrolled at the University of Southern California as a philosophy major, with an emphasis in ethics, law, and value theory. Jordan greatly enjoyed his time at USC, as he was able to explore a wide variety of interests. He joined the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity, as well as USC’s Music Industry Connection while working as a DJ for USC’s KSCR radio. His favorite class at USC was “Introduction to Music Law.” It was during this class that Jordan realized that he wanted to be involved with entertainment law.
His article on gender roles in the sports industry won 2nd prize as “Best Article of 2007-2008” school year. His favorite class at Southwestern was Jurisprudence; he believes this class gave him a greater understanding of how the law has evolved and another perspective to his studies of the law.
Jordan’s activities and interests include playing piano, creative writing, reading philosophy, playing tennis, and following all major sports and the music industry. He cites his experience skydiving over the Swiss Alps in July 2007 as a perspective-altering experience (see picture on left). His favorite book is Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts.
