ADMINISTRATIVE LAW SECTION
Section Council Appointment Procedure
According to the
Administrative Law Section by-laws, the Section has five officers plus 21
members at large authorized for election to the Section Council. Over the past
many years, the Section has had five officers and anywhere from 16 to 20 members
of the Section Council. The Section has attempted to maintain a mix of private
practice attorneys, public practice attorneys, and members of the Bench
(including Administrative Law Judges) as a fair cross section of the MSBA to
serve on our Section Council.
Over the years, the
Section Council has both actively reached out to solicit new Council members and
encouraged those who contacted us to actively participate. Members of our
Section Council are always interested in finding new members of the Association
who might be interested in serving as a productive member of our Section
Council. When interested individuals are identified, they are contacted by a
member of the Section Council, and if they are willing to serve, they are either
placed for election at our annual meeting or, per our by-laws, elected by the
Council to fill a vacancy or unexpired term.
Every spring, the Section
Council solicits from its membership individuals who might be interested in
serving in leadership. Such a person is generally identified as one who has
shown and proven to be a productive member of our Section Council for one or
more prior years. An individual selected for leadership would first be placed
in the Treasurer spot before progressing up the leadership ladder to Secretary,
Vice Chair and then Chair.
