Nick Casey, a member of Lewis Glasser Casey & Rollins PLLC, has been elected Treasurer of the American Bar Association. Casey began a three-year term as part of the ABA’s 2014 Annual Meeting in Boston. As Treasurer, Casey will serve the national association as a member or a liaison to various internal entities including the executive committee, audit committee, retirement program and endowment.
Founded in 1878, the American Bar Association is one of the world’s largest voluntary professional organizations, with nearly 400,000 members and more than 3,500 internal or related entities. It is committed to serving its members, improving the legal profession, eliminating bias and enhancing diversity, and advancing the rule of law throughout the United States and around the world. The ABA also supports the legal profession with practical resources for legal professionals and works to improve the administration of justice, accredit law schools, establish model ethical codes, and more.
“I am honored to be elected to this important leadership position with such a prominent organization as the American Bar Association,” Casey said. “Many important legal matters are facing consideration on a national basis, including ones such as privacy protections, regulatory powers, discrimination matters, civil rights and criminal justice,” Casey noted. “Through my role as part of the ABA’s leadership team, I will help to ensure that the views of West Virginia’s legal community and citizens will be considered on important policy matters that come before the ABA.”
