Terry Clark

Terry Clark, a 1981 Murray State University alumnus and Murray native, was recently recognized by Virginia Business Magazine and the Virginia Bar Association as one of Virginia ’s Legal Elite of 2006.

This compilation of Virginia ’s top lawyers was determined through more than 7,000 ballots sent to Virginia lawyers. Members of the Legal Elite are divided into separate legal categories based on the area of law they practice.

"I am honored to be selected for an award based on nominations by businesses and colleagues in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Even though it has now been over 25 years since I left Murray and graduated from Murray State University, I rely greatly on those experiences in conducting my day-to-day practice."

While attending MSU, Clark served as Student Government Association president and was a member of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity. Clark’s parents, Roy and Dollie, reside in Murray.

Clark received his juris doctorate degree from the University of Kentucky College of Law and master’s of law degree in patent and trade regulation law from George Washington University National Law Center. He was formerly counsel on the staff of a member of the U.S. House of Representatives and a House subcommittee.

Clark has practiced intellectual property law for over 20 years, and is admitted to practice law before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. He is also a member of the bars in the District of Columbia, Commonwealth of Kentucky and the Commonwealth of Virginia.
