The Center for Equal Opportunity is excited to welcome back to the team Peter Abernathy as Visiting Legal Fellow. Peter returns to CEO after participating in CEO’s inaugural Civil Rights Fellowship in 2022.
Peter is a 2024 graduate of George Mason University’s Antonin Scalia Law School and currently serving as a law clerk to the Hon. Caroll A. Weimer of the Thirty-First Circuit Court of Virginia.
Before college, Peter served for two years as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Londrina, Brazil. After concluding his full-time missionary service, Peter earned dual degrees in Geospatial Intelligence and History from Brigham Young University.
Before law school, Peter was a law enforcement intelligence analyst for Memphis Police Department. His experiences in that position inspired him to pursue a career in civil rights law to protect the right of all Americans to be judged on their own merit and character, not their appearance or lineage.
Peter lives in Northern Virginia with his lovely wife and three children.
