Mr. Tanner earned his Juris Doctorate from the University of Miami School of Law, graduating cum laude. During law school, he earned Honors in the highly acclaimed Litigation Skills Program, was a member of the International Moot Court Board, and served as a Judicial Intern for the Honorable Judge Shelby Highsmith at the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida.
