Jason C. St. Aubin

Jason has been practicing criminal law since 2005. Jason graduated from Charlotte Country Day School, and received his undergraduate degree from Duke University. After graduating with a J.D. cum laude from the University of Illinois, Jason began working for the Public Defender's office in Charlotte. During his 17 years there he worked every type of case imaginable, from traffic tickets to drug trafficking, from shootings to sex offenses, and from home break-ins to homicide.

Jason is not afraid to take cases to trial. He has taken over 30 cases to jury trial from misdemeanors to violent felonies and he has tried many more cases before a judge. In March of 2021, Jason secured the first Not Guilty jury verdict in Mecklenburg County in more than a year as court resumed after the pandemic.

While working at the Public Defender, Jason was hired by the Charlotte School of Law in 2009, where he worked as a professor until 2017. Jason taught many courses including Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure, Counseling and Negotiations, as well as Plea Bargaining.

Jason has taught at numerous training programs at UNC School of Government in Chapel Hill for attorneys of all experience levels, and he has presented at statewide conferences as well as at Duke University. He is the former Chairman of the Mecklenburg County Criminal Justice Section. In Spring of 2023, Jason will be joining the University of Illinois College of Law as an Adjunct Professor, coaching trial teams.

When he isn't working hard on your case, Jason lives in Davidson with his amazing partner Kirstin and her three boys. Together they have as many dogs: Saul, Della, and Wrigley. He enjoys board games with a lot of rules, very loud music, and unpronounceable food.
