Arctic Oil & Gas Directory: Tucker to serve 3-year term as lawyer representative

Stoel Rives LLP, a U.S. law firm, said Aug. 19 that S. Lane Tucker, a partner in the firm’s Anchorage office, has been appointed by the U.S. District Court for the District of Alaska to serve a three-year term as a lawyer representative to the Ninth Circuit Judicial Conference. The Alaska Bar Association recommended Tucker’s appointment.

Lawyer Representatives provide support and advice to the judges and administrators of the 9th Circuit, including during the Circuit’s annual judicial conference. In particular, they are expected to help implement conference resolutions within their local districts, and offer constructive criticism of the way courts are functioning.

Tucker has 25 years of experience in federal government contracts, construction, white collar and health care litigation. Prior to joining Stoel Rives, she was with the U.S. Department of Justice for nearly 20 years, including as the Chief of the Civil Division of the Alaska U.S. Attorney’s Office and as Trial Counsel with the Civil Division in Washington, D.C.

She is a graduate of the S.J. Quinney College of Law at the University of Utah, J.D., 1987; Mary Baldwin College, B.A., 1983; Oxford University, 1981, and is admitted to the state bars of Alaska and Pennsylvania.
