On October 1, 2026, the Prince William Chapter of the VWAA welcomed the new slate of law clerks who are now serving the Prince William County Circuit Court Judges for the 2026-2027 term. The annual event, hosted by Farrell & Croft at the firm’s office in Old Town Manassas, celebrates the accomplishments of these individuals in achieving the coveted law clerk positions. It also serves as an opportunity for the local bar to meet the new law clerks and facilitates the development of professional relationships.

The Prince William Chapter of the VWAA is proud to continue a tradition that started in 2008 shortly after the chapter’s formation. The event draws and is open to judges and attorneys working in the 31st Judicial Circuit as well as members of the VWAA and members of the Prince William County Bar Association. The new law clerks are pictured below with their respective assignments and contact information.

As President of the Prince William Chapter of the VWAA, I had the distinct privilege of introducing the new law clerks and addressing the judges and attorneys who joined us for this event. In my remarks, I noted that one of the primary stated missions of the VWAA is to assist women attorneys in developing their practice and achieving their potential. It is especially meaningful and encouraging to see so many women in these roles. I hope the introductions made at the reception open doors and foster meaningful relationships in the years to come.

Please join me in welcoming the new law clerks. I encourage everyone to take the time to say hello and introduce yourself the next time you see them in court. Let us continue to elevate the practice of law and make our legal community a place where people can connect, support one another, and thrive.
