John was recently informed that he was appointed to the Pennsylvania Bar Association's House of Delegates, representing Zone 9 of Southeastern PA.
Zone 9 encompasses Montgomery, Bucks, Chester and Delaware counties. The House appoints one member from each of the 12 zones for every 100 active PBA members in that particular zone.
The House meets twice each year to consider and approve legislation. Delegates also vote on matters affecting the substance and administration of PBA policy and on amendments to the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws. The House also has the authority to judge the election and qualifications of its own members, controls all membership dues and approves increases.
About the House of Delegates
Modeled on the structure of the American Bar Association, the House of Delegates is the PBA's primary policy-making authority. The House of Delegates was created in 1966, a product of a series of organizational reforms that earlier had created the Board of Governors. The PBA’s reorganization coincided with Pennsylvania’s adoption of a new state constitution in 1968, an achievement in which the PBA played an important role.
John S. Han serves as a trial and criminal defense attorney, representing clients facing investigation and prosecution by State and Federal Law Enforcement authorities throughout the Philadelphia metropolitan region, with a particular focus on Montgomery and Bucks Counties.
