When Sheryl co-chaired the Law Practice Management Committee (the LPMC) in 2010, the country was in the midst of a financial crisis. Scott Cooper was the Chancellor of the Bar Association at the time. When he appointed the Committee Co-Chairs, he gave them each the following directive: provide programming aimed at helping lawyers starting small and solo practices.

You can read about their work in their Bar Reporter article on the subject.
