Weyher to lead State Bar
Submitted by bniolet on 2009-10-22 14:55
Barbara Weyher is the new president of the N.C. State Bar, the organization that licenses and regulates lawyers.
Weyher, who succeeds John McMillan of Raleigh, is only the second woman to hold the job, according to a news release.
Weyher is a founding partner of Yates, McLamb & Weyher, a civil defense law firm based in Raleigh. She previously served on the bar's governing council and was chairwoman of a number of committees including the Grievance and Ethics committees.
In a news release, Weyher said she wants to increase the role of women and minorities in governing the organization.
"I have been privileged over the years to be involved with the North Carolina State Bar and have a great respect for the organization and its members," said Weyher. "In the coming year, we will be exploring ways to increase the number of women and minority lawyers on the State Bar Council."
