While a student at UNC, he spent the summer of 1973 sifting through 1100 boxes of documents searching for information to aid be Senate Select Committee on Watergate.He was an assistant district attorney in North Carolina from 1982 to 1988, and a District judge in the 26th North Carolina Judicial District Court from 1989 to 1993.Judge McKnight was also a visiting lecturer at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte from 1992 to 2003, and an adjunct assistant professor at Wingate University from 1994 to 2003.

He was nominated to the federal bench by President George W. Bush on April 28, 2003, to fill a new seat created by Congress. In his confirmation hearings, Judge McKnight explained his views on the roll of a judge as follows: "If I am so fortunate as to be confirmed, it is my deep-seated belief, one that I've acted on in 14 years now as a judge, that the role of the judge is precisely to interpret the law as it is given to him or her, not to make law, not to expand beyond the law, not to play legislator, but to follow precedent, honestly, fairly, with integrity, to respect precedent that is established, to follow the statutes and give a precise and fair interpretation of the statutes, and do my best with what is given to me, to apply it to specific fact situations accurately and justly." [1] He was confirmed by the United States Senate on July 31, 2003, and received his commission on August 1, 2003.Judge McKnight died from throat cancer on November 27, 2004 in Charlotte, North Carolina. Shortly after his death, the North Carolina Bar Association Professionalism Committee dedicated their publication, “Lawyer to Lawyer: North Carolina Reflections on the Practice of Law,” in his memory [2]. A Resolution and Memorial in honor of Judge McKnight was filed in Mecklenburg County Superior Court in Charlotte on February 11, 2005. [3]".
