Martin S. Bell Joins the Board of the Office of the Appellate Defender

07.20.22

Litigation Partner Martin S. Bell was selected to join the Board of Directors for the Office of the Appellate Defender (OAD), the venerable non-profit organization that has provided appellate representation to indigent persons convicted of felonies since 1988. Martin’s addition continues a relationship between Simpson Thacher and OAD that began with the late Roy Reardon, a founding member of the OAD Board of Directors who served on its governing body for 31 years. Upon Mr. Reardon’s passing in January, OAD issued a statement mourning an “unwavering champion” for the organization.

Martin is also a member of the boards of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, the Harvard Law School Association of New York City and Regis High School’s REACH Program.
