Byung J.

Bramlett. The Board is comprised of six lawyers and one non-lawyer, and each member serves a term of five years.

In announcing the appointment, Mr. Bramlett stated: "I am familiar with BJay's dedication to public service from his years as a federal prosecutor. I know he will do a superb job as Trustee and bring the perspective of lawyer with public sector experience to the Board’s deliberations."

The lawyers of Georgia have joined together to create a Fund of approximately $2.5 million for this purpose. The primary function of the Board of Trustees is to analyze applications filed by persons seeking monetary relief for losses incurred as the result of the dishonest conduct of members of the State Bar of Georgia and to pay appropriate claims.
