Smith Haughey Rice & Roegge

KRAUS SELECTED AS 2006 LAWYER OF THE YEAR
The law firm of Smith Haughey Rice & Roegge is pleased to announce that Richard C. Kraus, a shareholder in the firm's East Lansing office, has been selected by Michigan Lawyers' Weekly as one of Michigan's "2006 Lawyers of the Year."

Each year, the editors of the Michigan Lawyers' Weekly select 10 honorees from among the state's 37,000 attorneys based on their contributions and commitment to Michigan law. Richard was chosen for his representation of the University of Michigan Health System on the case of Woodard v. Custer. In that case, the Michigan Supreme Court ruled for the first time that expert witnesses in medical malpractice actions must possess the same subspecialty as the defendant before their testimony can be admitted. The award also recognized his successful representation of the State Bar of Michigan in several federal court cases challenging the constitutionality of Michigan's bar admission process.

Richard has extensive experience handling appeals in both federal and state courts. He also focuses his practice on representing clients in health care matters, including professional licensing, fraud and abuse, regulatory matters, and privacy. He currently serves as special master for the United States District Court. Richard is an active member of the American Health Lawyers Association, the Health Law and Appellate Sections of the American Bar Association and the State Bar of Michigan. He was elected by his colleagues in Ingham County to serve as a member of the State Bar Representative Assembly from 1990 to 1996 and the Ingham County Bar Judicial Qualification Committee. He has been appointed as a Master of the American Inns of Court.
