A MAJOR AWARD!!



Time to toot my own horn for a bit...!

Megan Skjei Vogel, daughter of Maryl Skjei and Mike and Linda Skjei of Mount Vernon, was recently selected as the recipient of the Justice Charles Z. Smith Award for Public Service at the University of Washington School of Law. The award recognizes a student who has made a commitment to work in the public interest and has provided service to the law school and to the wider legal community. Megan will graduate from UWLS in June, earning a Juris Doctorate with a concentration in health law. She plans to join the law firm of Davis Wright Tremaine, LLP this fall after the bar exam. During law school, Megan served as the Vice President of Programs for the Student Bar Association, President of the Student Health Law Organization, Treasurer of the Law Women’s Caucus, and was a Trustee for the Washington State Bar Association Young Lawyers Division. She worked as a legal intern for U.S. District Court Judge John C. Coughenour, the King County Prosecuting Attorneys office, Children’s Hospital, and the UW Children and Youth Advocacy Clinic.
