NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ATTORNEYS GENERAL

March 7, 2007

The National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG) honored the 150th Anniversary of the Dred Scott Decision by hosting a session focusing on the case for its closing session. Attorney Jeff Modisett of Bryan Cave LLP, Santa Monica’s Managing Partner and Utah Attorney General, Mark Scheurtleff, invited Lynne M. Jackson, General Services Manager of Bryan Cave LLP St. Louis and great-great granddaughter of Dred Scott, to attend and share her personal remarks.

The Dias included President of NAAG, Attorney General Thurber Baker of Atlanta, Mark Scheurtleff, Utah, Attorney General who hosted the panel, Attorney Walter Dellington whose treatise on Abraham Lincoln was immensely compelling, Mr. Dennis Hayes, President of the National NAACP and Ms. Jackson. Mrs. Jackson’s additional hosts included Ms. Lynn Ross, Executive Director of the National Association of Attorneys General, Ms.Angelita Picknett, Communications Director of the NAAG. On the last day of the conference when attendance was estimated to be around 50, there were over 150 in attendance.

It is with extreme gratitude that Ms. Jackson thanks Bryan Cave LLP, Santa Moncia and St. Louis, the AT Office of Utah and the Executive Office of NAAG in DC for the opportunity to share this history with them on the occasion of their National Convention.

This session of the convention can be seen periodically on C-Span.
