Madison Swanson Email and Phone Number
As a young lawyer currently serving as a Law Clerk to the Deputy Presiding Judge, Probate Division of the DC Superior Court, I bring a diverse background across probate and tax law, civil rights litigation, immigration and asylum law, and international law. My career is dedicated to advancing civil rights, access to justice, and human rights. I am especially passionate about the intersection of local civil society and human rights promotion, with a focus on how international development and conflict resolution efforts can strengthen communities and uphold justice. My experiences drive my commitment to creating impactful legal and policy solutions that support marginalized communities, advance human rights, and foster a more equitable global society.
