Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP announced today that Ryan P. Robichaux, a partner in the firm’s Birmingham office, has been elected as an Alabama State Bar (ASB) commissioner for the 10th Judicial Circuit, Place 8. He begins his three-year term on July 1.
Prior to law school, Mr. Robichaux served as a legislative aide for Jeff Sessions in the U.S. Senate, specializing in agriculture, judiciary, trade, and manufacturing policy. He also was a research assistant for a member of the British Parliament.
“We congratulate Ryan on his election as a commissioner for the Alabama State Bar,” stated Bradley Birmingham Office Managing Partner Dawn Helms Sharff. “Ryan’s many years of service to the state bar, combined with his practice in political law and advocacy, will greatly benefit him in his new role as a leader in representing our legal community.”
As the governing and policy-making body of the ASB, the Board of Bar Commissioners has “the authority to promulgate and enforce rules relating to admissions, rules of ethics, and discipline of its membership. Other responsibilities of the board include determining the qualifications and requirements for admission to the practice of law, investigating and acting on complaints concerning the conduct of members and applicants for admission, overseeing the bar examination, and assisting local bar associations.”
A member of Bradley’s Government Affairs Practice Group, Robichaux will focus on political advocacy and compliance, representing clients before the executive and legislative branches of government in Washington, D.C., Alabama, and other states.
