About Jordan
Jordan Couch built a foundation in the liberal arts before turning to law. He earned a Bachelor of Arts from St. John’s College in 2012 after a curriculum that included philosophy, the history of math and science, foreign language and classics. He went on to Indiana University Bloomington and received a J.D. in 2015.
Early in law school Couch sought out a range of placements. In 2013 he worked as a law clerk at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center and also interned at the Maryland Court of Appeals for Judge Greene. The following year he served as a legal intern in the Federal District Court for the Western District of Washington for Judge Ronald Leighton. Those experiences exposed him to administrative, appellate and federal trial processes.
After graduation Couch took on contract work in 2015 at Walthew Law Office. The next year he accepted a role identified as Lawyer/Cultural Ambassador at Palace Law. His résumé shows an early pattern: short-term positions in varied settings that together gave him practical courtroom perspective and an understanding of institutional practice.
Couch has been active in bar associations and young lawyer organizations since his early career. He has held a trustee seat on the Washington State Bar Young Lawyers Committee since 2017 and served as the Young Lawyer Liaison for the Washington State Bar Solo & Small Practice Section from 2016 to 2019. He was a Young Lawyer Fellow for the American Bar Association GPSolo program in 2017–2018. His memberships include the American Bar Association, the American Bar Association Litigation Section and its Young Lawyers Division, the Washington State Association for Justice including its Worker’s Compensation Section, and local bar groups such as the Tacoma-Pierce County and King County bar associations.
Those association ties signal where much of his professional energy has gone: litigation, trial procedure and issues affecting early-career practitioners. Couch has participated on executive and judiciary committees at the county bar level and has stayed involved in networks that support lawyers starting solo or in small firms.
He practices in Washington and has combined court-side experience with bar service to shape his work. Couch’s practice centers on litigation and workers’ compensation matters in Washington.
