March 1999 Volune 12 No3 - Utah State Bar

i
dent-Elect. The retention election currently rubber-stamps the
Board's candidate. The Rules of Integration require a vote of
50% of the Bar to unseat this candidate. This unrealstic recal
vote should be replaced with a direct vote of all members for
President-Elect. Finaly, I seek to add at least one additional Bar
Commssioner from the Third District to prevent the current
diution of its voting power. This district is by far the most popu-
lous, with more than 3: 700 lawyers as compared to the First
District (91 members), the Second District ( 416 members) or
the Fifh District (246 members). I would appreciate your vote
so that I can bring these matters to the attention of the Board as
a Commssioner from the Third District.
Thank you for your consideration of my candidacy.
C. DANE NOLA
I graduated from the University of Utah
College ofLaw in 1986, worked as an
associate attorney in a two-person firm
until 1989 when I moved on to the Utah
Attorney General's Offce. In 1991, I became
a prosecutor for the Salt Lake County
District Attorney's Offce. I've worked on
the Sex Crimes Team of the District Attorney's Offce since 1994.
I want to be a Bar Commssioner for two reasons. First, I thik I
can make a dierence. In 1997 and 1998 I served as a non-votig
member of the Bar Commssion, appointed by the Minority Bar
Association as its past President. Durig that tie I saw how much
good we as lawyers can do for society. Second, my experiences
as a minority lawyer, government lawyer and an attorney who
works in the crimal law field, wil bring a perspective to the
Commssion which it doesn't have right now and I believe it needs.
My wie, Susan Barum, is a lawyer at the Uta Attorney General's
offce and we have two terrifc tw boys, Jon and Matthew.
I
I would like to thank al the members of the Bar Examin-
ers Commttee, Bar Examners Review Commttee and
Character and Fitness Commttee for a successfu Febru-
ary Bar Examnation that was given Feb 23rd and 24th.

much appreciated.
