Kiendl was a member of the Sigma Nu fraternity. After completing his undergraduate schooling in 1911 he stayed at Columbia and earned his Bachelor of Laws degree from Columbia Law School in 1913.[4] In his later life he served as a corporate lawyer in New York state.[5] He argued the landmark case Erie Railroad Co. v. Tompkins before the U.S. Supreme Court in 1938.[6]
