Prominent Clinic Administrator Moves on to New York Court System

Albany Law School reports that Elaine Shelhamer will be leaving her position as Albany Law School's Administrative Director this week for an exciting new opportunity.  Elaine  was instrumental in facilitating national discussions concerning clinic/"law office" management. 

Dean Thomas Guernsey's announcement of Elaine's departure is posted below:

Elaine Shelhamer, Administrative Director of Albany Law School's Clinical Legal Studies Program, has accepted a position with the NYS Unified Court System as Chief Clerk of the Essex County Surrogates Court. In her letter of resignation, she notes that she will greatly miss her colleagues at the clinic and in the ALS community and is grateful for the wonderful mentors and friendships she found during her 13 years here.

ALS, and in particular the clinical program, has benefitted enormously from Elaine's organizational, interpersonal, managerial and paralegal skills as well as her loyal friendship. We will miss her and wish her well!
