Alameda County DA to fill temporary board vacancy

Wiley |
Alameda County Assistant District Attorney Terry O. Wiley was
appointed last month to fill a temporary vacancy on the Board of Trustees
through October 2016.
The State Bar Board of Trustees chose Wiley, 55, to fill a vacancy in District
1, which is comprised of Alameda, Contra Costa, Del Norte, Humboldt, Lake,
Marin, Mendocino, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Solano and Sonoma counties.
The vacancy was created by the resignation of Daniel Dean, who moved out of the
district.
“I am
delighted that the board selected Terry Wiley after a serious deliberate
consideration of a number of highly qualified candidates,” Board President
David Pasternak said.
Wiley has been active in the State Bar of California Criminal Law
Section since 1994, serving in a variety of roles, including as chairman of the
executive committee. He’s also on the National Bar Association’s executive
board and serves as chairman of its criminal law section.
“I'm
honored to be appointed and look forward to working with my fellow board
members and continue to improve the legal profession,” said Wiley, who was
sworn in Nov. 20, the same day he was appointed.
Meanwhile, board elections are
being held in District 1 and District 3, which is comprised of 23 counties in
Northern California. Ballots will be mailed Dec. 31 to attorneys in those
districts. The winners of those elections will be sworn in at the State Bar
Annual Meeting in October.
