Texan named President of NACDL

Via the Blog of Legal Times, congrats to San Antonio attorney Cynthia Orr on becoming the new President of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. (I've met Ms. Orr previously, though I doubt she'd remember it.)

What's more, says the BLT, "The defense lawyers’ association has chosen another Texan, Jim Lavine, as its president-elect. He is a name partner at Zimmerman, Lavine, Zimmerman & Sampson in Houston" and a former Chicago prosecutor.
