I am very pleased to learn that I have been appointed to the American Bar Association’s Standing Committee on Professional Regulation. The committee’s work is “developing, promoting, coordinating, and strengthening professional disciplinary and regulatory programs and procedures throughout the nation, including developing and promoting ABA activities relating to professional discipline, model rules for disciplinary enforcement and standards for the imposition of sanctions.” The Committee has also worked to develop regulatory initiatives to help lawyers and law firms develop ethical infrastructures to prevent misconduct.

I look forward to my involvement with the work of this group.
