uncertainty," said Marshall, "we should take up the challenge posed by both our
friends and critics to re-examine the mission, goals and objectives of the State Bar. I

The new president has served on the board since 1995 and has chaired the committees on
communications, bar and public policy as well as the legal and ethnic minority relations
committee. He graduated summa cum laude from College of Idaho, received his law degree
from Harvard and has been practicing law for 20 years, all at McCutchen.
Marshall succeeds Marc Adelman of San Diego, whose entire year in office has been
consumed by the bar's dues crisis. |
