Carolyn Beth Lamm [2] (born August 22, 1948 in Buffalo, New York) [3] is an American lawyer and a partner in the Washington, D.C., office of White & Case. She was president of the American Bar Association from 2009 to 2010, [4] and she currently sits on the Council of the American Law Institute. [5]
Lamm graduated from the State University of New York at Buffalo with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1970 and from the University of Miami School of Law with a Juris Doctor degree in 1973. [6]
Lamm attended home, stating that she has wanted to become a lawyer "from a really young age". [7] Lamm moved into international law in the 1980s, and has "represented lots of sovereign states in disputes". [8]
Lamm has been cited as one of The Washingtonian's "100 Most Powerful Women in Washington" in 2011 [9] and has been given the 2012 Lawyer of the Americas award, which "honors an attorney who has demonstrated exemplary service in the field of Inter-American law and in the furtherance of improved economic, social and political policies in the Americas". [10]
In a 2009 article in Foreign Policy, Lamm was criticized for having "close ties" to controversial countries and corporations, such as Zeromax. [11] [12] Lamm has responded to the criticism, stating that the article relied on "inaccuracies, distortions, and speculation, and also conveys a fundamental misunderstanding of the role of lawyers in promoting the rule of law and access to justice." [13]
Carolyn married Peter E. Halle on August 12, 1972. [1] He is a retired lawyer and former United States Army officer. [1] They both have two children (Alex and Daniel). [14]
