Every year, we endorse candidates for D.C. Bar office who we believe will share our commitment to pro bono service and public-interest law. We endorse candidates for President, Treasurer, Treasurer-Elect, Board of Governors, and ABA House of Delegates.

The endorsements are determined by our Board of Directors and are based on the candidates’ resumes and answers to a questionnaire, jointly prepared by our D.C. Bar Affairs Committee. For the office of President-Elect, we also hold a question-and-answer session with the candidates.

Our 2023 endorsements are:

President-Elect
Shaun M. Snyder

Treasurer*

Treasurer-Elect
Kevin D. Minsky

Board of Governors 

Shayan Davoudi
Patrick C. English
Hardeep S. Grover
Natalie Koss
Courtney L. Weiner

ABA Delegates 
Kerry K. Neal
D. Jean Veta

ABA Delegates Under 36
Travis S. Nembhard

*Neither Treasurer candidate sought the endorsement of Washington Council of Lawyers. Therefore, we have made no endorsement for this office.
