He formerly worked at the International Lawyers Office (BAI) in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, where he has spent the last several years prosecuting crimes committed during the 1991-1994 coup. Among the cases he has prosecuted are those stemming from the 1994 Raboteau massacre in Gonaives. Concannon is a graduate of Georgetown University Law Center, and held a Brandeis International Fellowship in Human Rights, Intervention and International Law from 2001-2003.

The BAI also runs a training program for Haitian law school graduates.
