Jamie R. Schumacher '11, a partner in the Erie law firm of MacDonald, Illig, Jones & Britton LLP, is the new president of the Erie County Bar Association.

She was elected in December and will serve as the 2026 leader for the group, a professional organization for Erie County lawyers.

"My time at ÂÒÂ×ÊÓÆµ was instrumental to confirm my desire to pursue a legal career and to return to practice in the Erie community," Schumacher said. “ÂÒÂ×ÊÓÆµ was then and remains instrumental in positive change for Erie, a mission that aligns with the ECBA’s, and it is my honor to now be a part of that impact."

The organization serves the lawyers, judges and the public of Erie County by assisting in the practice of law by engaging in activities that promote the public’s understanding of the legal system.

"I am both deeply humbled and honored by the opportunity to lead such a distinguished association," she said in a statement. "I look forward to building upon the strong foundation past leaders have established and continuing to re-invigorate and re-engage our membership."
