Kozinski was born to a Jewish family[2] in Bucharest, Romania, in July 1950. In 1962, when he was 12, his parents, both Holocaust survivors, brought him to the United States. The family settled in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, where his father, Moses, ran a small grocery store. Kozinski, who had grown up as a committed communist in Bucharest, became what he described as "an instant capitalist" when he took his first trip outside of the Iron Curtain, to Vienna, where he partook of such luxuries as chewing gum and bananas.[3]

He appeared on the television show The Dating Game in 1968, where he planted an "egregious kiss"[4] on a "surprised"[5] contestant.

Education and early career[edit] He received a Bachelor of Arts degree from University of California, Los Angeles (1972) and a Juris Doctor from UCLA School of Law (1975). He was a law clerk for Judge Anthony Kennedy of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (1975-76) and for Chief Justice Warren Burger of the Supreme Court of the United States (1976-77). He was in private practice in Los Angeles (1977-79) and in Washington, D.C. (1979-81). He was a Deputy Legal Counsel of the Office of the President-Elect in Washington, D.C. (1980-81) and an Assistant Counsel for the Office of Counsel to the President in Washington, D.C. (1981). He was a Special Counsel for the Merit Systems Protection Board in Washington, D.C. (1981-82).[6]
