Kennedy was born in Birmingham, son of Rann Kennedy, and the younger brother of Benjamin Hall Kennedy. He was educated at Shrewsbury School and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he graduated as senior classic (1831) and was elected fellow. He entered Lincoln's Inn, was called to the bar in 1835, became a barrister, and settled at Birmingham. From 1849-1856 he was professor of law at Queen's College, Birmingham (a predecessor college of Birmingham University).〔() (1911)〕 In his academic role, he advised the judge Lord Denman in the important parliamentary privilege case of ''Stockdale v. Hansard''.〔Pue (1990) ''p.''62〕 As counsel to Mrs Swinfen, the plaintiff in the celebrated will case ''Swinfen v. Swinfen'' (1856), he brought an action for remuneration for professional services, but the verdict given in his favour at Warwick assizes was set aside by the court of Common Pleas, on the ground that a barrister could not sue for the recovery of his fees.〔
