Background

About Jayde Coler

As a Juris Doctor from The George Washington University Law School, I am passionate about using my legal skills and knowledge to advocate for the rights and interests of members of marginalized communities and for progressive policies that foster a strong and inclusive democracy. As a trans woman and an Air Force veteran, I am particularly committed to advancing the rights and interests of the transgender community and veterans.In my most recent work experience, I served as a Student Attorney at the Public Justice Advocacy Clinic, where I represented clients in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, D.C. Superior Court, D.C. Court of Appeals, and in administrative courts. Under faculty supervision, I conducted legal research, drafted pleadings, motions, and briefs, and participated in negotiations, mediations, and hearings. I also hold a certification in Essential Legal Research from Thomson Reuters, which demonstrates my proficiency and efficiency in finding and analyzing legal sources.
