Edward Turner is a retired corporate lawyer based in Paris, France. He attended Vanderbilt Law School following his traveling fellowship, and after a successful career in law, he pursued international pro bono work as a volunteer for International Senior Lawyers Project and Lawyers Without Borders. His focus has been on the Rule of Law in developing countries.
Since the fellowship, Edward has traveled extensively, both for personal and professional pursuit.
“The Fellowship got me started in developing some of the key cultural understandings and interpersonal skills I utilized almost daily throughout my career in my international law practice living and working in several foreign countries. I am sure my life and career would not have been as interesting and rewarding as they have been but for the Fellowship.”
