The Law Center’s bylaws provide a wonderful infusion of talent each year by designating eight individuals as ex officio board members.

These eight members are: the Chancellor, Chancellor-Elect and Vice-Chancellor of the Philadelphia Bar Association; designees of the Young Lawyers Division, the Barristers Association of Philadelphia, the Hispanic Bar Association of Pennsylvania and the Asian Pacific American Bar Association of Pennsylvania; and the Philadelphia Public Defender.

This year, we welcome two new individuals filling these posts: Mary Platt and Erin Lamb. Click here for our full board list.

Ms. Platt is an attorney at Fineman Krekstein & Harris P.C. and has significant experience representing clients in individual cases and class actions pending before trial and appellate courts. She joins us as the Vice-Chancellor of the Philadelphia Bar Association.

Ms. Lamb is an associate in the Philadelphia office of Rawle & Henderson. She concentrates her practice in the area of catastrophic loss. She joins us from the Young Lawyers Division of the Philadelphia Bar Association.

The new individuals filling these posts join those who have already been serving: Chancellor Gaetan Alfano, Chancellor-Elect Deborah Gross, Keir Bradford-Grey, the Philadelphia Public Defender, Kevin Harden, representative of the Barristers’ Association of Philadelphia, John Huh, representative of the Asian Pacific American Bar Association of Pennsylvania, and Victoria Torrejon, representative of the Hispanic Bar Association of Pennsylvania.

We also say farewell to Albert Dandridge, who previously served as the Chancellor of the Philadelphia Bar Association.
