ABA Law Practice Management Section Names New Director

By Ross

Saw this announcement yesterday from the ABA Law Practice Management Section:

“ABA Law Practice Management Section Names New Director

The American Bar Association announced today that Pamela McDevitt has been named the new director for the Law Practice Management Section, effective March 22, 2010.

For the past four years, Pamela has served the New York State Bar Association as Director of Law Practice Management. In that capacity, she has developed a variety of continuing legal education programs, re-designed the State Bar?s Law Practice Management and Solo Practice Web pages, coordinated the development of practice-oriented books, and developed numerous articles and publications. Prior to joining the State Bar, she practiced law in a small firm for nine years, following a term of service as a Captain in the United States Army JAG Corps with assignments in Administrative and Labor Law, including representing the Department of Defense in EEOC hearings, Unfair Labor Practice Lawsuits, Merit System Protection Boards, and sexual harassment claims.

The section would like to thank H. Maria Enright, the Director of the ABA Professional Services Division, who led the search process for our new director, with input from me and chair-elect Andrea Hartley. We were very pleased with the quality and quantity of candidates for the position.

Between now and the end of March, Jill Eckert McCall will continue to serve as our interim director. Jill?s leadership and guidance of our staff has been tremendous?and she still has her ?day job? as Director of the Young Lawyers Division. The help we have received from both Maria and Jill has allowed for smooth sailing during this gap in section directors.

On behalf of the Executive Committee, I can say that we are extremely excited about the ideas, energy and leadership Pamela McDevitt will bring to our section. Please join me in welcoming her to the ABA LPM family.

Micah Buchdahl
Chair”

So a new era begins! Congratulations Pam!
