Plunkett Cooney appellate attorney, Courtney A. Lavender, was recently selected as a member of the 2026 class of Fellows by the Lawyers for Civil Justice (LCJ).
The LCJ executive committee voted to include Lavender in the three-year program aimed at civil litigation rule reform, which is overseen by LCJ’s Diversity and Young Lawyers Committee.
Since 1987, LCJ has promoted excellence and fairness in the civil justice system by working to meet the needs of its corporate and defense counsel members and by confronting the challenges of business litigation. LCJ Fellows are rising defense bar leaders who bring outstanding credentials, diverse backgrounds and fresh perspectives to LCJ’s civil litigation rules advocacy program.

Lavender received her law degree, cum laude, from Wayne State University Law School in 2021. While there, she served as an extern at the school’s Office of General Counsel. Following law school, she worked as a research attorney at the Michigan Court of Appeals. Lavender received her undergraduate degree in 2017 from the University of Michigan.
