ASL Distinguished Alumni Profiled in 2013

Distinguished Alumni 

of the 

Appalachian School of Law 

Profiled in 2013

We have plenty to brag about!  I am very impressed by how quickly our graduates assume senior positions with great responsibility.  Our alumni show a strong dedication to public and community service, just as we intended when the founders created the Appalachian School of Law with a focus on ADR, professional ethics, leadership, and community service. 

Beginning in October 2013, I profiled fifteen alumni of ASL who serve in public service jobs.  I want to capture those profiles in one place before moving into 2014.  

So, below you will find the alumni I profiled in 2013, with links to each profile.  I am listing them in the order profiled, and I include the year they graduated from ASL.  

• Captain Artie Vaughn, Area Defense Counsel, Judge Advocates General Corp (2007).
• M. Suzanne Kerney-Quillen, Assistant U.S. Attorney (2003).
• Justin J. Marcum, W. Va. House of Delegates (2011).
• Katie Mooney, Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney (2012).
• Gerald Arrington, Commonwealth's Attorney ( 2004).
• W. David McFayden III, District Court Judge (2005).
• J. Todd Ross, General Sessions Court Judge (2002).
• Chris Fortier, Social Security Administration, Attorney-Advisor (2005).
• Daniel T. Boyd, Juvenile Court Judge (2002).
• David J. Robinson, Illinois State's Attorneys Appellate Prosecutor's Office, Senior Legal Advisor (2007).

• Rebekah Baker, Assistant Attorney General (2005).

I expect many more profiles to come in 2014.  

In creating these profiles, I intended to serve our alumni, help existing students plan career paths, and help prospective students assess the education ASL offers.
