Two New Members Elected to Thomas Jefferson School of Law Board of Trustees

San Diego – Thomas Jefferson School of Law today announced the election of two new members to its Board of Trustees. They are Richard Prochazka and John Seitman, both practicing attorneys, with very distinguished careers.

Richard Prochazka practices labor, employment and employee benefits law, and is listed in the Best Lawyers of America in the Martindale-Hubbell directory, the highest possible rating. His clients include several San Diego County labor organization trusts.

John Seitman is a consultant and expert witness in professional liability matters and was the president of the California State Bar from 1991 to 1992, as well as the president of the San Diego County Bar association.

“The new trustees will help the School to gain even greater visibility and credibility within the San Diego legal community,” said Thomas Jefferson Dean Rudy Hasl.  “Both of them are respected leaders within the legal profession and good role models for our students. They will bring their experiences and backgrounds to the benefit of the School of Law community.”

Thomas Jefferson School of Law, located just off Interstate 5 in historic Old Town, is fully accredited by the American Bar Association, and the Committee of Bar Examiners of the State of California. The law school’s more than 5,000 alumni include San Diego County District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis, U.S. representative Duncan Hunter and several judges in San Diego and California.
