Hinshaw Partner Gretchen Harris Sperry—who also serves as chair of the firm's Appellate Practice Group—has been appointed to serve as the co-chair of the National State Chairs Committee of the American Bar Association's (ABA) Council of Appellate Lawyers (CAL). As co-chair of this newly formed committee, Sperry will be responsible for coordinating programming and membership nationwide for CAL's state and regional chairs.
