The incoming Pennsylvania Bar Association president said that in the coming year he plans to make the state bar a more vital part of both the legal and general communities.
Great Bend, Pa., general practitioner Francis X. O’Connor was set to take over the reins as president of the bar from Forest N. Myers at the annual meeting May 16. O’Connor said that within his first month heading the bar, he plans to expand the successful Wills for Heroes program, which provides free wills to first responders, police and firemen, to include veterans. He said he also plans to encourage more “seasoned” attorneys to provide pro bono legal work, or begin mentorning newer attorneys.
