Munley Law: Luncheon Held in Honor of Marion L. Munley Day

Scranton, PA – September 6, 2024 /MarketersMEDIA/ —

Munley Law, a team of top rated personal injury lawyers, is excited to announce that on Monday, August 19, 2024, dignitaries, family, and friends gathered at the Country Club of Scranton on Monday, for a special luncheon to celebrate the Honorable Marion L. Munley.

On July 1, 2024, the Pennsylvania House of Representatives passed House Resolution 399, designating August 19, 2024, as “Marion Munley Day” in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Sponsored by Pennsylvania Representatives Tarah Probst (D-189) and Bridget M. Kosierowski (D-114), the resolution honors the first woman from Northeastern Pennsylvania elected to the state House of Representatives.

In 1947, Marion L. Munley won a special election to complete the term of her late husband, Robert W. Munley. She was re-elected eight more times. While in office, her tenure was marked by significant achievements, including co-authoring the landmark Equal Pay Law of 1959, which prohibits pay discrimination based on sex. In 1963, she was the first woman to be elected Chair of the Democratic Caucus. In 1965, she became Secretary of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, the first and only woman to hold that position. August 19 would have been Munley’s 119th birthday.

The luncheon featured a keynote address by Justice Christine Donohue of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, who spoke about Hon. Munley’s groundbreaking work in the House of Representatives.

During the luncheon, it was announced by the Archbald Borough Council that her hometown of Archbald, PA, is honoring her memory by naming a street “Marion Munley Way.”

“We are so grateful to Justice Christine Donohue and everyone who attended the luncheon to honor my grandmother,” said personal injury attorney Marion Munley, the Senior Partner at Munley Law. “We are also grateful to State Representatives Tarah Probst and Bridget Kosierowski for sponsoring the legislation that made Marion Munley Day possible.”
