Chris Yerian

Law Clerk

Chris Yerian grew up in Southeastern Ohio.  She fell in love with city living on visits to Chicago as a child and has lived there as well as Cleveland, Ohio. Chris is currently a Vanderbilt law student and will spend her summer at the TJC, assisting with the Rosen and John B. cases.

Chris was drawn to spending her summer at the TJC because of its employees’ passion and its reputation as an outstanding law firm, and also because of her own commitment to justice and serving the poor.  After graduating from Vanderbilt Divinity School with an M. Div., Chris spent a year volunteering with the Martha O’Bryan Center in East Nashville through the Americorps*VISTA program. She has mentored with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago, taught English as a second language, and assisted with publicity for nonprofit events.

In her spare time, Chris enjoys spending time with her new husband, gardening, walking at Radnor Lake and reading novels.
