Mississippi Secretary of State, Delbert Hosemann, has appointed Stephen Burrow to the Corporation Laws Study Group.  This is the second appointment for Mr. Burrow, who previously served on the Secretary of State's Limited Liability Company Study Group.  That group's two year efforts helped lead to passage of a complete overhaul of Mississippi's LLC Act in April.

Burrow, who is a shareholder in the firm, expressed surprise at the announcement.  "I am flattered the Secretary appointed me again.  Because he had a vibrant practice as a business law attorney before his election, working with the Secretary is both intellectually challenging and a true pleasure.  He personally deserves a lot of credit for getting the LLC Act revisions through the Legislature, even after it had died multiple times."

[Update 6/9/2010] The Secretary of State's office announced Stephen Burrow will serve as Vice-Chairman of the Corporation Laws Study Group.
