California Supreme Court Makes Appointments to State Bar Board of Trustees, Committee of Bar Examiners

The Supreme Court of California today announced appointments to two State Bar of California entities.

The court appointed attorney Ryan Harrison to the State Bar Board of Trustees for a partial four-year term, effective April 25. Harrison fills the remainder of the term vacated by former board member Hailyn Chen who termed out last September.

The court also made appointments to the State Bar’s Committee of Bar Examiners. Attorneys Juliane Smith and Joshua Montgomery will fill the vacancies created by the departures of James Efting and Robert Brody. Each will serve partial four-year terms effective April 25.

The committee oversees development and administration of the California Bar Exam and reviews the moral character determination and admissions processes for attorneys. The committee also accredits state law schools and registers unaccredited state law schools.
