The Legacy We Leave
IP attorney Julia Markley on Portland creativity and the two affinity Bars she helped found
Julia Markley vividly remembers her first day in court. It involved gum.
Her father, commercial attorney Charles Markley, brought her to the circuit court in Hood River when she was 6, then instructed her to sit quietly in the spectator gallery while he made his arguments. To seal the deal, he bribed her with a full stick of gum rather than her normal half-stick.
It worked for a time. But when Judge John Jelderks entered the courtroom, she couldn't sit still. "I walked down the center aisle and I stood right at the bar," says Julia. "And the whole time I just stared at the judge, chewing my gum. I was entranced at a young age with the ceremony and grandeur of the courtroom."
