Attorney
Erin McCoy is the 2025 Civil Rights Litigation Fellow at Bernabei & Kabat. She received her Juris Doctor from American University Washington College of Law in May 2025, graduating summa cum laude. Driven by her passion for public service and the federal judiciary, Erin took every opportunity to intern. In doing so, she interned for three different judges on two different courts: the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
She also spent time in the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, working in both the Disability Rights Section and the Federal Coordination and Compliance Section, where she focused on gender-affirming care and enforcement of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Outside of her internships, Erin served as a Note and Comment Editor for the American University Law Review, where her Comment was selected for publication. She also enjoyed working as a research and teaching assistant to her Constitutional Law professor, Stephen Wermiel. In that role, she tracked the U.S. Supreme Court’s docket, focusing on issues such as Section 1983 and the First Amendment
