MacLaw Governing Structure

All Rights Reserved to
MacLaw User Group

On May 4, 1999, a dedicated group of legal professionals who use Macintosh computers in their practices founded MacLaw, an e-mail discussion group. You are welcome to "listen in" on our conversations and/or post questions to the list. We are a friendly group whose goal is to help each other with technical issues and expand the use and benefits of our technologically advanced computers. Many of us consider our group a form of free, dependable and speedy tech support on all hardware and software issues.

MacLaw enjoys the contributions of experienced and skillful contributors. Membership is open to anyone who wishes to expand his or her use and enjoyment of Macs in the Law Office. Highlights of the new service include:
  • In-depth discussions on a wide range of pertinent topics
  • A friendly atmosphere that encourages collegial expressions of diverse points of view
  • A popularly elected Board of Directors
  • A sidebar list through which members can make suggestions directly to the Board
  • Light-handed moderation by members of the Board and subject to the full Board's approval
  • A choice of instantaneous-relay and digest subscription modes


Please feel free to mail any or all of the individual Members of the Board if you have any questions or suggestions.
The Current Board of Directors is:

The structure of the MacLaw Board of Directors is as follows:

All Board Members serve a three-year term.

Renee Mancino was elected May, 2007, and her term will expire May, 2010.

Ted Burton and Paul Samarin were elected in 2005, and their terms will expire May, 2008.

Rob Blau and John McVeigh were elected in 2006, and their terms will expire May, 2009.

The net result is five Board members, each serving a three-year term, with a 2:2:1 election cycle. The Board believes that this will strike an appropriate balance between renewal and institutional memory.
