Paul Edger \u201908<\/p><\/div>\n

Paul Edger \u201908 became the immediate past chair of the PBA Young Lawyers Division, which consists of lawyers under the age of 40 and lawyers who have practiced for under 10 years regardless of age, while alumna Jennifer Galloway \u201906 took on the role of chair-elect. Edger’s role as immediate past chair marks the conclusion of his role as chair of the YLD, a position he held for the 2021-2022 term.<\/p>\n

Edger studied Political Philosophy and Legal Studies at Etown, while Galloway majored in Political Science and Criminal Justice.<\/div>\n

\u201cEtown offered me amazing opportunities and leadership skills, from Mock Trial (which every day now is Mock Trial in real life) to political debates in Professor Fletcher McClellan\u2019s class that really opened my eyes to opposing sides, and was a very helpful tool in becoming a trial attorney,\u201d Edger said.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Galloway\u2019s experience at Etown was similarly positive. Like Edger, Galloway also participated in Mock Trial, in addition to cheerleading and weekend dances.<\/p>\n

\u201cI came to Etown from a small school, small family, and small town but never really had what I would describe as a sense of community,\u201d Galloway said. \u201cI felt part of a community for the first time, very quickly at Etown. By feeling comfortable, I was able to excel and grow academically, socially, and as a person.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jennifer Galloway \u201906<\/p><\/div>\n

Edger and Galloway\u2019s connection through their Etown experiences has given them a strong foundation for their leadership together.<\/p>\n

\u201cJenn is a talented and motivated attorney, and I know her time serving the YLD will go far,\u201d Edger said. \u201cWe only shared one year together on campus, but always have those memories of campus and professors we both had.\u201d<\/p>\n

As the year progresses, the two continue to work toward encouraging young lawyers through their work on the board and beyond.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking alongside Paul, a fellow Blue Jay and predecessor in the YLD world, has been enjoyable and helpful,\u201d Galloway added. \u201cI have enjoyed learning more about Paul’s experiences at Etown and how they are similar and different to my own.<\/p>\n

\u201cI look forward to continuing to work with Paul in years to come and welcome any current student of the College to reach out to me if they are interested in becoming a lawyer!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
