Amanda A. Brown graduated from Wesleyan University in 2005 with Honors. Upon graduation, she spent three years working in the Peace Corps in Madagascar as a public health educator. After completing her time in the Peace Corps, Amanda enrolled in law school at the University of Georgia.
After graduating cum laude from the University of Georgia School of Law and becoming a member of the Georgia Bar in 2012, Amanda began her career by working as a law clerk in the Georgia Conasauga Judicial Circuit. As a law clerk in the Conasauga Circuit, Amanda spent most of her time engaged in legal research and writing, primarily for civil cases. She subsequently worked as in-house counsel for Primerica, where she advised field agents on compliance with SEC and FINRA regulations. She also worked at a small, general practice firm in Athens, GA, where she independently handled civil cases in a wide variety of practice areas.
In 2015, Amanda returned to the University of Georgia to obtain a doctorate degree in public health. After obtaining her doctorate, she began working on legal epidemiology projects at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Legal epidemiology involves the study of the public health impact of laws and policies. For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Amanda analyzed COVID-19 restrictions across the fifty states and worked with a team to determine whether these restrictions were associated with improved health outcomes. She also examined policies in a variety of other areas, including housing, stroke systems of care, emergency medical services, and home rule/local government autonomy.
Amanda joined Herrin & Alexander, LLC in 2025. Her practice is devoted to cases involving surety law, construction law, and surety subrogation, as well as probate matters and personal injury cases.
Amanda speaks four languages, and in her spare time, she enjoys travelling to countries where she can practice them. She also enjoys running triathlons and spending time with her children and her puppy.
