Saran Q. Edwards primarily focuses on data privacy cases at M&R, but she also assists in other practice areas. Joining the firm in January 2024, Mrs. Edwards brings with her a diverse legal background and over a decade of civil litigation experience.

Mrs. Edwards Graduated magna cum laude with a B.A. in Psychology from Temple University in 2005. She went on to earn her juris doctorate from The University of Arizona, James E. Rogers College of Law in 2011. During her time in law school, she honed her legal skills serving as a judicial extern for the Hon. Raner C.

Prior to joining M&R, Mrs. Edwards focused on parent-side special education matters in New Jersey, advocating for children with disabilities in public schools. Additionally, she participated in a pending class action lawsuit against the New Jersey Department of Education, pertaining to alleged violations of the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act (“IDEA”). Mrs. Edwards also litigated open public records act (“OPRA”) cases, and prosecuted discrimination claims in federal and state courts.

Mrs. Edwards began her legal career in Texas, where she concentrated on civil rights litigation, including wrongful death and conditions of confinement cases (regarding pre-trial detainees). It is here where she recognized the importance of ensuring equal access to the civil justice system and dedicated her professional career to advocating for plaintiffs across various facets of the law.

Fancying herself an amateur writer, Mrs. Edwards has also written various blog posts, published several practice points for the America Bar Association, and drafted white papers and presentations for COPAA (Council of Parent Attorneys and Advocates) conferences.
