Alan Y. Medvin headshot

Alan, a life-long resident of Princeton, retired in 2013 after a successful 41 year career as a New Jersey trial lawyer in private practice during which time he tried approximately 150 cases to verdict. In addition to trying cases in New Jersey, he tried cases to verdict in New York, Ohio and Wisconsin. In 1984 he was elected President of the New Jersey Chapter of the Association of Trial Lawyers of America and in 2008 he was awarded its Gold Medal for Distinguished Service. He taught trial advocacy as an adjunct professor at the Rutgers University School of Law in Newark and for six years sat on the Board of Governors of the Association of Trial Lawyers of America, where he served as the Chair of the Professional Negligence Section, Chair of the Committee on Ethics and Discipline and Vice-Chair of the Torts Section. In New Jersey, Alan was appointed to ten consecutive two year terms on the Civil Practice Committee by the Chief Justice of the NJ Supreme Court. 

After his retirement in 2013, Alan became the volunteer head coach of Princeton University Mock Trial until the Princeton administration eliminated the service of all volunteer staff positions in the summer of 2020.  In addition to volunteering in the mock trial world, he volunteers as a Case Developer at Centurion, located in Princeton, the world’s first organization devoted to freeing men and women serving life in prison for crimes they did not commit, and also volunteers as a Wish Grantor at Make-A-Wish NJ.
