Announcements
Three lawyers are newly certified by the Pennsylvania Bar Association workers' compensation law section as specialists in the practice of workers' compensation law.
They join 206 lawyers currently holding certification.
In 2012, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court approved a recommendation of the PBA review and certifying board to grant accreditation to the PBA workers' compensation law section as a certifying organization in the area of workers' compensation law.
With the Supreme Court's order, the PBA workers' compensation law section became the first bar association entity in Pennsylvania to receive approval as a certifying organization.
A lawyer successfully completing the exam is certified for five years.
The lawyers who have successfully completed the 2020 certification process are Angela M. Lorenz of Griesing Law in Newtown, Jesse Rhodeside of Marzzacco Niven & Associates in Harrisburg, and Lindsey E. Ringquist of Shoap Law Offices in Chambersburg.
The certification exam focuses on familiar portions of workers' compensation law and rules, as well as leading case law.
The examination questions are revised annually to incorporate new developments and eliminate repetitive questions.
To qualify for the exam, an applicant must establish by documentation that he or she is admitted to practice law in Pennsylvania, is actively engaged in the practice of law for a minimum of five years and is devoting a minimum of 50% of his or her practice to the specialty field of workers' compensation.
Applicants also are required to submit a variety of documents showing active practice in the workers' compensation law field and participation in mandatory continuing legal education in workers' compensation law and related fields.
The certification committee has the authority to revoke certification under certain circumstances, and the committee has an appeal process for such cases.
Founded in 1895, the Pennsylvania Bar Association strives to promote justice, professional excellence and respect for the law; improve public understanding of the legal system; facilitate access of legal services; and serve the lawyer members of the state's largest organized bar association.
