Erise IP is proud to welcome associate Emma King-Murphy, who was recently named an Academic All-American Appellate Advocate by the National Association of Legal Advocacy Educators. She is one of only 29 law students selected nationwide, and one of just two from a Missouri law school.
The honor recognizes excellence across academics, competition, service, and leadership. Emma graduated third in her class at the UMKC School of Law, competed in the National Moot Court competition, published a comment in the UMKC Law Review, and served as a legal writing teaching assistant coaching second-year students through their oral arguments.
As UMKC Associate Dean Steve Leben put it: “She is always ready to help others, even when she’s busy.” That is exactly the kind of advocate we’re glad to have on our team.
Congratulations, Emma. We’re thrilled you’re here.
