April 2020-ALA Faces

Sending Our Condolences

Former ALA member Charles “Chuck” Coulter died last month, according to the College of Law Practice Management, which he helped found in 1994. Coulter served as a President of that organization, and he also served in volunteer leadership roles for ALA and the American Bar Association. He was a longtime attorney with Stanley, Lande & Hunter in Muscatine, Iowa. He earned such accolades as the ABA’s Samuel S. Smith Award for outstanding lifetime achievement in law practice management, the University of Iowa College of Law’s Alumni Service Award, and the Iowa State Bar Association’s Community Service Award. Contributions in his memory can be made to Iowa City Hospice or New Song Episcopal Church, which his wife cofounded.


Congratulations!
