A lifelong Arkansan, Adam Jegley was born and raised in the Little Rock area. After attending Mills University Studies High School, Jegley studied politics and international relations at Hendrix College, where he thoroughly enjoyed his time as a resident. Jegley succeeded fellow Rainwater, Holt & Sexton attorney Andrew Winters as president of Martin Hall. Following his time at Hendrix College, Jegley pursued his interests in politics as a campaign consultant. His time as a campaign manager allowed Jegley to work on political races and events in Arkansas and the surrounding region. His time in politics solidified his desire to help people and ultimately led him to believe he could better help people by becoming a part of the legal system, leading him to enroll in the William H. Bowen School of Law in Little Rock. Law school exposed Jegley to a variety of areas of law, including clerkships at both private and public law offices, working in the school’s Litigation Clinic, as well as being on the board of directors of the Protect AR Families.
