NORFOLK, VA, July 06, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Personal injury law firm Kalfus & Nachman announced Tuesday that the Virginia State Bar has appointed associate attorney Christopher Jacobs to Section I of the Disciplinary District Committee for the Second District of Virginia. Disciplinary district committees comprise both attorneys and lay members who investigate complaints against lawyers and prosecute disciplinary proceedings as necessary.
"The Virginia State Bar is dedicated to the regulation and improvement of the legal profession," Jacobs said. "I am thrilled to be a part of the disciplinary district committee, as it is vital to maintaining the utmost trust in the legal system."
Jacobs has been appointed to a three-year term with the Second District Committee - Section I. He will be eligible for re-appointment in 2019.
The Second District Committee encompasses the second and fourth judicial districts of Virginia, including the areas of Norfolk, Virginia Beach and Portsmouth. Divided into two sections, the Second District Committee handles disciplinary matters originating from the southeastern portion of the Hampton Roads region.
The 17 disciplinary district committees are part of the Virginia State Bar mission of "regulating the legal profession." This regulatory function is overseen by the Standing Committee on Lawyer Discipline, which monitors disciplinary proceedings and periodically reviews district committee cases to maintain adherence to procedure in the prosecution of complaints.
