Bonnie Weyher

The N.C. State Bar has nominated Barbara B. “Bonnie” Weyher, past chair of the NCBA Litigation Section, to serve as vice president for 2007-08.

Pending formal election at the State Bar's annual meeting in October, Weyher will assume a three-year leadership track and serve as president in 2009-10. The Raleigh attorney was nominated during last week’s quarterly meeting of the State Bar in Atlantic Beach.

Steven D. “Steve” Michael of Kitty Hawk is currently serving as president of the State Bar. Irvin W. “Hank” Hankins III of Charlotte is the president-elect and John B. McMillan of Raleigh is serving as vice president. Calvin E. Murphy of Charlotte is the immediate past-president.

“I have been privileged over the years to work with both the North Carolina Bar Association and the State Bar,” Weyher said. “I have great respect for both organizations.  In this new role as an officer of the State Bar, I look forward to the opportunity to work with the Bar Association in our shared mission of service to the legal profession and to the public.”

Weyher served as a State Bar councilor from 1998-2006 and has chaired the Grievance Committee, the Ethics Committee and the Authorized Practice of Law Committee. She has also served on the Executive Committee, the Issues Committee and the Publications Committee.

She chaired the Litigation Section in 2005-06 and served as president of the Wake County Bar Association in 1997.

Weyher is a 1973 graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in journalism. She graduated in 1977 from the UNC School of Law and served as a staff member of the North Carolina Law Review.

Weyher practiced law in New York City before returning to North Carolina in 1979 to join the Raleigh firm of Young, Moore, Henderson & Alvis. In 1983 she became a founding partner of Yates, McLamb & Weyher, where she has since practiced along with her husband and law partner Dan McLamb.
