About Amanda N.
Amanda N. Connor's academic path crosses several disciplines. She earned her J.D. from the University of New Mexico School of Law in 2010. Before law school she completed two master's degrees: an M.A. in Education from the University of California, San Diego in 2004 and an M.A. in Administration from New Mexico State University in 2006. Her undergraduate work was at Pepperdine University, where she received a B.A. in Liberal Arts in 2003.
After law school, Connor entered practice in the Southwest. She is admitted to the bars of Nevada and New Mexico and has maintained a regional practice that reflects her ties to both states. Her legal career has unfolded against a backdrop of administrative and educational study, a background she often references when handling regulatory and institutional matters. Colleagues describe her style as methodical and precise; she favors careful fact-gathering and clear written work.
Connor's experience outside law school informs how she approaches cases. Those graduate degrees in education and administration are more than lines on a résumé. They shape how she reads agency rules, evaluates school policies, and frames arguments about institutional decision-making. She has worked with clients who need help understanding regulatory processes, and she is comfortable discussing complex policies in plain terms. She writes briefs, prepares regulatory submissions, and advises on procedural issues that can determine outcomes long before a trial begins.
Her practice is based at Connor & Connor PLLC. The firm serves clients across Nevada and New Mexico and handles matters that overlap public institutions, administrative agencies, and private entities. Connor has cultivated a practice that balances advocacy in contested matters with guidance aimed at preventing disputes. She appears before state agencies and administrative tribunals, drafts policy-related documents, and assists clients in navigating compliance questions.
Outside the office she remains connected to issues in education and governance, drawing on past academic work when evaluating cases that touch on those fields. Her written work aims to be direct and accessible. She prepares clients for hearings and helps organizations translate legal obligations into practical steps they can implement. She currently practices at Connor & Connor PLLC, focusing on education-related and administrative matters across Nevada and New Mexico.
