On June 25, 2010, President Obama has nominated his final two appointees to the Board of Directors of the Legal Services Corporation. They are Harry Korrell, a partner in a Seattle law firm, and the Rev. Joseph Pius Pietrzyk of Zanesville, Ohio.

Earlier this year, six presidential nominees were confirmed by the U.S. Senate to serve on the LSC Board of Directors, and they joined a presidential nominee confirmed last year. The nominations of two appointees await confirmation by the Senate. The June 25 announcement by the White House of the president’s intent to nominate Mr. Korrell and Fr. Pius will begin a confirmation process that will complete the formation of the new Board.

Fr. Pius Pietrzyk, O.P., is a priest in the parish of St. Thomas Aquinas in Zanesville. Fr. Pius was ordained to the priesthood on May 23, 2008, after having entered the novitiate for the Dominican Province of St. Joseph in 2002 and studied for his License in Sacred Theology. Prior to that, he worked for three years in the Corporate and Securities practice of Sidley Austin, a large international law firm based in Chicago.
