Beyond their role as advocates, GMSR's lawyers are committed to serving their profession and their community. Not content with passive membership, they regularly demonstrate the depth of their commitment by making the multi-year investment of time it typically requires for them to assume such leadership positions as committee chairs and organization presidents.
