Josh Mankoff earned his Juris Doctorate, magna cum laude, from Temple University Beasley School of Law. While obtaining his law degree, Mr. Mankoff spent a summer clerking for the Honorable Dolores K. Sloviter on the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. He also spent a year in Africa, first interning on the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, in Arusha, Tanzania (which tried the masterminds of the genocide) and later observing the local gacaca proceedings, in Rwanda (which tried up to one million low-level perpetrators). At Temple, Mr. Mankoff won a Philadelphia-wide legal writing competition, qualified for the finals in the Temple Moot Court competition and served on the Temple Law Review.
Before law school, Mr. Mankoff graduated cum laude from Williams College in 1998 with a double major in Computer Science and Psychology. After graduating, he became a software engineer and worked for a startup company that today provides search and guided navigation to over 250 million end-users, including customers of Walmart.com and other online stores, the Library of Congress, and the Department of Defense. Despite the exciting opportunities in software, Mr. Mankoff ultimately decided that his true passion was in practicing law. He brings his prior experience analyzing and organizing information to bear in his legal research and discovery work.
Mr. Mankoff joined Lopez McHugh LLP in 2009. He is admitted to practice law in Pennsylvania.
