[8] [9] [10] He is the first cousin of the Kangol Kid (Sean Shiller Fequiere), [11] of the hip hop group UTFO, famous for the smash hit single, Roxanne, Roxanne. [12] As a youth, Clermont participated in both the Cub Scouts and the Boy Scouts, having achieved the rank of First Class Scout. From 1978 to 1984, Clermont attended the private Catholic K-8 school [13] which was associated with the Our Lady of Refuge Church, in Brooklyn, New York, graduating with numerous awards and recognitions. Clermont served as an Altar Boy with the Our Lady of Refuge Church during this time, and received a recognition for his service through the local chapter of the Knights of Columbus.

In 1984, Clermont passed the entrance exam and two rounds of interviews to be admitted to Regis High School, [14] a private, all-male, Jesuit, secondary school for Roman Catholic boys located on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City. [15]

Undergraduate and graduate education

Clermont possesses a total of nine academic degrees: two associates degrees, three bachelors degrees, three masters degrees and a professional doctorate in law. [16] [17] [18] [19] Clermont is a member of the Phi Theta Kappa honor society, the Delta Epsilon Iota academic honor society, and the Omicron Delta Epsilon economics honor society. [20] Clermont attended Binghamton University, [21] receiving a bachelor of arts in political science in 1992. Clermont received his bachelor of science in mathematics from Mayville State University, his master of business administration and master of science in economics from Florida Atlantic University, and his Juris Doctor from the University of Miami School of Law. [22] Clermont won his first-year moot court competition with his partner Gerald Chen-Young in law school. [23] Clermont additionally received a master of science in data analytics from Western Governors University. [24] [25] [26] [27] [28]

Clermont was published twice in the Florida Bar Journal. [29] [30] Clermont additionally wrote an article about Medicare and the Office of Medicare Hearings and Appeals (OMHA) in the Pittsburgh Journal of Environmental and Public Health Law, [31] and an article about the economics of the death penalty and the lethal injection protocol in the St. Thomas Law Review. [32] [33] Clermont has published ten books. [34] Clermont also published an article about federal restitution in the Nova Law Review as well. [35] In 2011, Clermont wrote a legal journal article in the Freedom Center Journal at the University of Cincinnati School of Law, calling on Americans to seek changes to the Thirteenth Amendment, arguing that the punishment clause currently allows for slavery as conviction of a crime which resulted in convict leasing, stereotypes about alleged black criminality, a prison industrial complex, and chain gangs. [36] [37] [38] [39] Filmmaker Ana DuVernay released a film about this subject, five years later, with her Emmy Award winning documentary 13th. [40] [41] [42] [43] Clermont has written about a wide variety of other subjects. [44] [45] [46]

Interview on Miami Boss Podcast

In an interview of the Miami Boss Podcast, [47] Clermont discussed the case of a group of young Hispanic adults who broke into the home of then Miami Heat player Ray Allen in 2014, and how the police refused to arrest the teens originally or charge them with a crime. [48] [49] The Allens maintained their home was locked and that the act constituted a home invasion because Allen's wife and children were alarmed by their presence as they fled when Shannon Allen screamed. [50] The police characterized the entry as curious teens entering through an unlocked door believing the home was unoccupied, and that committed no criminal wrongdoing. [51] "The suggestion that anyone can unlawfully enter into someone's locked home and then into an occupied bedroom in the middle of the night without consequences is unsettling," Allen's statement said. "Regardless of the stated or actual reason for such unlawful entry... everyone deserves to feel safe in their own homes." [52] Receiving no help from the police, the Allens had to go directly to the State Attorney's Office to give statements and have the prosecutors file the charges directly without police involvement; the prosecution did not file burglary, but rather several counts of misdemeanor trespass. [53] The teens had their cases dropped after a pretrial diversion program involved community service and a fine. [54]
