Lori McMaster, executive director of Pitt Law's Professional Development Office and Pitt Law alumna (’86), will serve the 111th president of the Allegheny County Bar Association.
McMaster told the Pittsburgh Business Times that she hopes to create opportunities for the organization to work together with Duquesne University School of Law and University of Pittsburgh School of Law.
“This will include creating a structure that will allow more pro bono opportunities to be extended to law students at both schools as part of a partnership with the ACBA, Duquesne Law and Pitt Law,” she said. “As someone who works in legal education, I also hope to highlight initiatives and issues of importance to law students, legal education, newly admitted attorneys and practitioners who are engaged in succession planning.”
