Eric N. Macey, co-founder of Novack and Macey LLP, a business litigation firm based in Chicago, has been selected as a Fellow of the International Society of Barristers. The prestigious society?s membership is limited to 800 lawyers worldwide adjudged by their peers and judges to be outstanding in the field of advocacy. Mr. Macey will be one of only 30 Illinois litigators in the Society.
?The Society seeks to honor the role of the trial lawyer in our system of justice,? said Donald H. Beskind, the Society?s administrative director. One of its principle goals is the preservation of the adversary system and the jury trial. Mr. Macey notes that he is extremely privileged to be selected to join the Society and join the company of exceptional advocates who are its members.
Mr. Macey is considered one of the country?s top commercial litigators. His clients include corporations and institutions, investment ventures, partnerships and high net worth individuals. He has extensive trial experience in state and federal courts throughout the country. He has lectured extensively, particularly in the areas of litigation management and the use of information technology in litigation.
Mr. Macey is an instructor with the National Institute of Trial Advocacy, and is an Adjunct Professor for many years at Northwestern University School of Law teaching courses in trial advocacy and discovery.

Mr. Macey?s charitable contributions include his service as Chairman of The Posse Foundation in Chicago and a member of its National Board. The Posse Foundation identifies public high school students with extraordinary academic and leadership potential who may be overlooked by traditional college selection processes, and places them in supportive teams or ?posses? of 10 students, each of whom receives a four-year full tuition scholarship from Posse?s partner universities.
Mr. Macey received his A.B. (1973) magna cum laude from Princeton University. He received his M.A. (1975) in Communications from the Annenberg School of Communications, University of Pennsylvania, and his J.D.
