Emma C. Meister

Prior Experience

Emma gained extensive litigation experience through a series of judicial and law firm positions throughout law school. As a judicial intern to Chief Judge Mitchell Goldberg of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, she participated in criminal and civil proceedings, drafted memorandum opinions and orders, and provided legal analysis and oral recommendations to the court. She served as a certified legal intern with the Philadelphia Defender Association, where she represented clients in court. She also interned with Judge Scott O’Keefe of the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas, assisting in criminal cases and conducting research for post-conviction relief matters. These experiences collectively honed Emma’s courtroom skills, legal writing and analytical acumen.

Emma served as a summer associate with the firm in 2024. During this time, she drafted dispositive motions, researched complex legal issues spanning multiple jurisdictions, and contributed to both pro bono and commercial matters, gaining exposure to high-level litigation strategy and client advocacy.

Personal Interests

Outside of the office, Emma enjoys horseback riding, running and reading. She is also an avid traveler and enjoys new adventures — she once trekked through the Annapurna Region of Nepal on a solo journey. Her favorite hike is Mount Washington in New Hampshire.
