Carl Baldwin was born in 1931 and brought up in New York City where he lives today with his wife. He was initially trained as an art historian, getting his Ph.D. from Columbia University. For several decades he taught at Hunter College and Lehman College of the City University of New York.
He went back to school, attending Columbia Law School and earning the J.D. degree in 1980. Baldwin worked for three years for the New York City Law Department before setting up shop as an immigration lawyer. Political asylum is one of his strong interests, and his clients come from around the world.
He worked closely with the Association of the Bar in advising foreign citizens who qualified for "amnesty" in the late 1980s and in training attorneys to represent Haitian asylum seekers who fled their country after the 1991 coup d'etat, and who needed legal assistance in making application for asylum.
In addition to immigration law and civil liberties, his main professional interests, he tries to keep up to date with his family. His wife Mary Ellen is an early childhood educator, his daughter Kathleen is an artist and college student, and his son Steve is a journalist whose medium is cyberspace. Baldwin muses that he is trying to learn something about this new world.
His grandchildren provide him with additional reasons for writing these books. Baldwin says, "They are U.S. citizens, to be sure, but I like to think that they will grow up to care about citizens of the entire world."
