Stephen P. Deitsch, a Best Best & Krieger attorney who serves as city attorney for four California cities, was elected this month to chair the Public Law Section of the State Bar of California.

During his one-year term as chair, Deitsch will guide the executive committee through policy decisions affecting the 1,400-member section comprised of attorneys who serve cities, counties, school districts and other public agencies.

His focus, he said, will be on continuing to provide much-needed resources for public law attorneys through continuing education and the publication of the Public Law Journal, which documents important developments in the field.

Deitsch, a BB&K partner who specializes in municipal and redevelopment law, has been with the firm since 1989 and is based in the Ontario office. He serves as city attorney for Indian Wells, Big Bear Lake, Arcadia and Shafter. He also serves as redevelopment counsel for those four cities as well as Fontana, Ontario and Westminster.

"Public law work is something we care deeply about as a firm and we are honored that one of our attorneys has been chosen for such an esteemed position," said Richard T. Egger, BB&K managing partner of the Ontario office.

"Steve's legal expertise will serve the position well," Egger added.

The Public Law Section works to ensure that laws affecting the public sector are enacted and implemented in a manner that is clear, effective and serves the public interest. The section also identifies and analyzes the unique ethical issues affecting public lawyers.

Deitsch, of Upland, became the committee chair on Sept. 11 at the State Bar's annual convention in San Diego. Previously, he was the committee's vice chair and he served as editor of the Public Law Journal.
