Ingham County Bar Foundation announces six new Fellows

The Ingham County Bar Foundation has announced its newest Fellows: Hon. Clinton Canady, III, Douglas G. Chalgian, Hon. Joyce A. Draganchuk, James B. Jensen, Jr., Hon. Andrea Andrews Larkin and Steven A. Transeth.

Each of the new Fellows has demonstrated leadership, character, and professionalism that deserves recognition as a Fellow of the Ingham County Bar Foundation, which seeks to recognize attorneys who have excelled in the legal profession, gained the respect of their peers, and contributed to society. The character of the most recent fellows, like those who have come before them, coincides with the mission of the Ingham County Bar Foundation which in part is to foster the integrity and honor of the legal profession, and promote access to justice.

To become a Fellow, one must be a member of the State Bar for at least five years, be in good standing, and be in active practice at the time of selection. Fellowship is limited to a select group of attorneys of not more than 5 percent of the active practitioners in the tri-county area (Ingham, Eaton, and Clinton counties).

Since the inception of the ICBF Fellows designation of honor, only 62 lawyers have been recognized as Fellows.

The new Fellows will be recognized at the ICBF Fellows Reception and at the ICBA Annual Meeting on Nov. 19.
