Magill appointed to Workers’ Compensation Law Section

The Ohio State Bar Association has appointed Youngstown attorney Richard Magill to chair the association’s Workers’ Compensation Law Section for a one-year term, which began July 1.

The Workers’ Compensation Law Committee provides a forum for legal professionals interested in regulatory, legislative and judicial matters related to workers’ compensation law.

The OSBA maintains 27 committees and 14 sections, each of which specializes in a particular area of law.

Committees and sections work to improve the justice system by keeping Ohio lawyers informed about the latest court decisions and regulatory changes. They also comment on bills before the Ohio General Assembly and draft their own legislative proposals to improve existing laws.

Chairpersons selected for this honor have demonstrated excellence and expertise in their practice area as well as outstanding leadership and a commitment to the profession and the rule of law.

Magill is married with two children and resides in McDonald. He received his undergraduate degree from The Ohio State University and his law degree from the Cleveland-Marshall College of Law.
