Voices of the Heroes of Justice Episode 9: Michelle Luna

Episode nine of the Voices of the Heroes of Justice is available now! In the next installment, WSBA President Francis Adewale interviews attorney and Tacoma-Pierce County Bar Association (TPCBA) President-Elect Michelle Luna.

Michelle Luna is the Chief of the Civil Division of the Pierce County Prosecutor’s Office. Her department handles a variety of work including giving advice on everything from elections to law enforcement. Michelle grew up in Sumner where her interest in the legal profession first began through a high school course on “you and the law,” where she was able to be a lawyer in a mock trial competition. (Years later she even went back to teach this course at her former high school!) This experience had a lasting impact on her, which eventually led her to law school.

In addition to her local work at the TPCBA —Michelle is also a WSBA Rule of Law Ambassador and was very excited to get involved with the WSBA’s Speak Up for Justice, Washington programming. Earlier this year she served as a host for a Speak Up event in Tacoma at the University of Washington campus.

In this episode Michelle discusses her career, personal and professional background, the importance of communication around the rule of law, current and future potential leadership roles, and more!
