Leadership Spotlight: Andrew Schpak
One of our newest members of the ABF Board of Directors is Andrew Schpak. An attorney
at Barran Liebman LLP in Portland, OR and active in the Young Lawyers Division of
the American Bar Association, Andrew specializes in employment litigation law. Andrew
will serve on the ABF Board until 2020.
Of his appointment to the ABF Board of Directors, Schpak said: "The ABF does more
than just support the empirical study of law.  It provides practicing attorneys 
with statistics and evidence that inform everything from litigation strategy to 
jury instructions to one's likelihood of success on a motion for summary judgment.
 I personally have used the ABF's research in settlement discussions with opposing
counsel to provide objective evidence of a case's settlement value."
"The ABF also focuses heavily on criminal and social justice, and its research supports
everything from ABA policy to state and federal legislation.  We are fortunate to
have the ABF to take the lead on large-scale empirical research projects on the 
most pressing issues facing the world, and we all benefit from having such sound
 research and results to use as the basis for policy analysis and advocacy."
