Demetrius D. Shelton '93 Vies for Bar Presidency
Demetrius D. Shelton '93 is vying for the State Bar Board of Governors presidency. The board will make the selection at its June 17 meeting in San Francisco.
Shelton has been a deputy city attorney in Oakland for seven years, where he is counsel to three departments. He currently serves as president of the California Association of Black Lawyers and is active in numerous bar associations where he says he enjoys making a difference.
As chair of the Member Oversight Committee this year, Shelton has focused on improving member services and said he would continue that emphasis if elected president. A recent survey of the membership determined what California lawyers want in terms of services, and Shelton said, "Now it's time to respond and provide them what they're asking for."
