During law school, Tanner placed a strong emphasis on trial advocacy through both his courses and practical experience. He received the prestigious CALI award for his work in Trial Advocacy, which is awarded to the highest scoring student in the class, and he was selected by faculty to compete on the law school’s National Mock Trial Team in 2022. The law school faculty also recognized Tanner for his superior skill in trial advocacy by electing him as the recipient of The International Academy of Trial Lawyers Award, which is awarded to the graduating student who demonstrates the most outstanding ability in trial advocacy. He was also inducted into The Order of Barristers, a highly selective society recognizing the students who exhibit the most outstanding skill in trial advocacy, oral argument, and legal writing. In addition to his honors for his exceptional skill in the courtroom, Tanner was inducted into the Order of the Coif and the Woolsack Honor Society for his academic excellence and achievements, including his graduation within the top 10% of his class. During law school, Tanner also served as a Student Works Editor for the Penn State Law Journal for Law and International Affairs and a Teaching Assistant for the course “National Security Law II - Leadership in Crisis Simulation” under Professor Vice Admiral James Houck (Ret.). Tanner honed his legal skills through practical legal experience with his work for Judge Katherine Oliver of the Centre County Court of Common Pleas and Federal Judge Kim Gibson of the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. He also interned at the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office and GTC Law Group. Before studying law, Tanner grew up in New Stanton, Pennsylvania and graduated from Hempfield Area High School. He received his degree in chemistry from Saint Francis University.
