I am sorry to hear of the passing of Paula Jewell. She was a very committed attorney and she was deeply interested and involved in the affairs of the District of Columbia. I worked with Paula on the Legislation Committee of the D.C. Affairs Section of the DC Bar. She was a faithful member and participant of the committee, until her health prevented her from doing so. Her presence will be missed by many.
