Eric N. Macey, a founding partner of Novack and Macey LLP, has been selected President of the Chicago-Lincoln American Inn of Court. After impressively serving three consecutive terms as Vice President and Treasurer, he assumed his new position July 1, 2008.

Formally organized in 1985 by United States Supreme Court Chief Justice Warren E. Burger, the American Inns of Court were designed to improve the skills, professionalism and ethics of the bench and bar. American Inns of Court actively involve more than 20,000 state, federal and administrative law judges, attorneys, legal scholars and law students. The approximately 80 members of the Chicago-Lincoln American Inn of Court meet monthly to “break bread” and hold programs and discussions in an effort to elevate levels of excellence, professionalism and ethical awareness.

As President, Mr. Macey will provide leadership and guidance to the officers and members of the Inn. By working closely with the national office, he will ensure that the Inn adheres to the policies of its charter and other policies promulgated by the National Board of Trustees.
