Meet Jordan Couch
I’m running for this position to continue the work I have been doing for the last three years on the Board of Governors and the five years before on the Washington Young Lawyers Committee. Advocating for new and young lawyers is something I have dedicated a substantial portion of my career to and being your BOG liaison has allowed me to continue that work.
During my first term I have done work to promote access to justice; support diversity, equity, and inclusion; and support new and young lawyers. I championed a stronger bar association, more support for new and young lawyers, and alternatives to the bar exam. In my next term I hope to work specifically on measures that will reduce law school costs and new lawyer debt and also expand opportunities for the public to have access to justice while enabling law firms to increase profitability. With this second and last term I hope to continue serving you.
