Marion Munley Inducted To International Society of Barristers

Scranton, PA, May 04, 2012 — Pennsylvania personal injury lawyer Marion Munley was inducted as a Fellow of the International Society of Barristers during the organization’s recent annual convention in Newport Beach, California.

Munley is a board-certified civil trial lawyer with more than 24 years of experience in complex personal injury litigation, including representing victims of truck accident and car accident cases in Pennsylvania, New York and across the Northeast.

She joins two other attorneys from the Pennsylvania personal injury firm of Munley, Munley & Cartwright, P.C., as Fellows of the prestigious society of civil trial lawyers – Robert W. Munley and Matthew A. Cartwright.

The International Society of Barristers (ISOB) was created in 1965. The organization is dedicated to preserving trial by jury, the adversary system and an independent judiciary. The organization also promotes civility by bringing together members of both the plaintiffs’ and defendants’ side of the bar.

“The International Society of Barristers is committed to promoting the highest standards of excellence and integrity in advocacy and in promoting fellowship in the legal profession,” Munley said. “I am deeply honored to be a member.”

Munley, who recently conducted a seminar on truck accident litigation on April 27 at the New Jersey Association for Justice’s Boardwalk Seminar 2012 in Atlantic City, is licensed to practice in Pennsylvania and New York, including the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.

She is Board-Certified as a Civil Trial Advocate by the National Board of Trial Advocacy.

The Northeast Pennsylvania Business Journal named Munley to its list of Top 25 Women Business Professionals for 2011. Every year since 2004, she has been among the 5 percent of Pennsylvania lawyers named a Super Lawyer by Pennsylvania Magazine.

In 2006, Lawdragon Legal Rankings rated Munley as one of the 500 leading plaintiffs’ lawyers in the country. In 2007, she was named by Lawdragon as one of the 2,500 leading attorneys in all practice areas in the U.S.

Munley serves on the Executive Committee of the American Association for Justice’s Trucking Litigation Group.

She frequently lectures across the U.S. on trial skills, trucking litigation, and other legal topics, giving presentations for organizations that include the American Association for Justice, Pennsylvania Association for Justice, Pennsylvania Bar Institute and Lackawanna County Bar Association.
