Alannah King

2025 Emerging Leader

King, Alannah

Hi! My name is Alannah King, and I am currently working at the Delaware County Public Defender Office in the Pretrial Unit. I graduated from The Pennsylvania State University in 2020 with degrees in Criminology and Political Science. I also attended The Pennsylvania State University for my master’s in Public Policy which I received in 2021. I went on to attend Villanova University Charles Widger School of Law and graduated with my J.D. in 2024. I was a Public Interest Scholar and utilized my time in law school to work at the Montgomery County Public Defender Office, the Defender Association of Philadelphia, and the Federal Community Defenders of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania where I was an intern with the Trial Unit. In my final year, I participated in a yearlong Clemency Clinic. I am thrilled to be an Emerging Leader and cannot wait for all that is yet to come!
