                                 ACCOMPLISHMENTS

             At the request of the Ohio Supreme Court Technology Advisory
        Committee, participated in research regarding feasibility of state-
        wide attorney facsimile-filing procedures.  Specifically, my report
        evaluated U.C.C. evidentiary admissibility of fax copies in lieu of
        original documents and signatures.  Rules were adopted in 1991.

             As Special Master in the San Mateo County Superior Court,

        hearing concerning an interstate criminal extradition matter.
        Ordered Municipal Court to release jurisdiction to the Superior
        Court.

             Served as Chief Legal Strategist for a city political party's
        successful defense in a highly publicized legal attack by the State
        of Maine's Office of the Attorney General.  Concurrently served in
        the same capacity at the county level with the same successful
        result.  Chairpersons of both political entities commended legal and
        political insight and key role in their rescue.

             As legal consultant, successfully guided defense against
        criminal election charges initiated by entrenched city
        administration.  Committee chairperson said I was most valuable
        member of the team.

        weathered intensive multi-agency government audit by anticipating
        legal requirements.  Federal and state investigators said they were
        impressed with my accomplishments.
