Alyce Manley Spruell, from the Tuscaloosa law firm of Spruell & Powell, will become the President-Elect of the Alabama State Bar Association in July. Alyce will assume the role of President of the organization in July of 2010, at which time she will become the first female to hold that office. In my opinion, that honor is long overdue. Nevertheless, we are very proud of Alyce and we congratulate her!
