In Memory of
M. Peter Moser
ABF President
2002-2004
M. Peter Moser passed away on October 17, 2008.
He was an outstanding lawyer and a leader in the field of legal ethics.
In 2005, Peter and his wife, Liz, created the ABF Liz and Peter Moser Research Fund in Legal Ethics, Professional Responsibility and Access to Legal Services.
Peter's contributions to the profession will be remembered for years to come. And through his generosity, the Foundation will proudly continue studying those areas to which Peter donated so much of his time and talent.
