While in law school, Judge Devan volunteered with the Orange-Durham Coalition for Battered Women and the UNC Law Domestic Violence Project. She was a research assistant for Professor Patricia Bryan and interned at Atlanta Legal Aid Society in Georgia.Her long term goal of doing poverty-impact work was realized with her first job at East Central Community Legal Services where she worked in the areas of housing and education law.

She has served on the Dogwood Festival Committee, the Cape Fear Regional Theater Board, in the Junior League of Fayetteville, and was a founding member of the Women’s Giving Circle.
