Joy Ahern attended the University of Missouri-Columbia School of Law from 2001 through 2004, and during that time was the recipient of grants and scholarships based on undergraduate achievements. Joy was a member of the Women’s Law Association, Student Bar Association, and was a 2L diarist for The Gavel, a monthly law school publication. Joy’s academic achievements resulted in her placement on the Dean’s List for several semesters during the course of her legal education. Upon graduation, Joy was also awarded a Certificate in Taxation in conjunction with her Juris Doctorate degree. She is now a member of the Missouri Bar and the United States Court, Western District of Missouri.

Joy joined Harris McCausland in April 2005, and has had considerable success in all areas of litigation. Joy’s demeanor is both assertive and professional, and has resulted in the successful resolution of the cases she has handled, whether via mediation, settlement without mediation, dismissal, summary judgment, or trial. In addition to her practice, Joy was selected in September 2007 to serve as the Boone County Bar Association secretary. In that capacity, she also serves as a member of the Executive Committee of the Association, which meets monthly to determine the Bar’s position on current judicial and legislative developments and issues.
