54-B District Court Administrator Nicole Evans has recently been sworn in as the chair of the State Bar of Michigan’s Representative Assembly.
The 150-member Representative Assembly (RA) is the final policy-making body of the State Bar of Michigan. It was created by the Michigan Supreme Court in 1971 to increase geographical representation and member participation in State Bar policy. Former chairs are distinguished attorneys in all areas of the law and have included professors, elected county prosecutors, state appellate defenders and administrative law judges. Nicole Evans is the first active court administrator to serve as its chair.
As a court administrator, Evans works in the courthouse every day, which gives her a unique perspective as an attorney and that she said will help her as RA chair.
