Kennedy followed that by attending graduate school at the University of Oxford where he obtained his Master's degree, and finally completed his education at Yale University to become a Doctor of Law. While acquiring his Doctorate, Randall was an editor for the Yale Law Journal, possibly where he took an interest in writing.
