Jay B. Myerson of Reston is the Virginia State Bar president-elect designee for 2021-22. Myerson was unopposed in his bid for the presidency. Myerson will succeed current president-elect Brian L. Buniva of Richmond when Buniva takes over the role of VSB president from current President Marni E. Byrum in June 2020.Myerson founded The Myerson Law Group, P.C. and supervises a domestic, criminal, and civil litigation practice.
Myerson was first elected to Bar Council in 2014, representing the 19th Judicial Circuit. He currently is a member of the VSB's Standing Committees on Budget and Finance, the Legal Ethics committee, and previously served on the Harry L. Carrico Professionalism Course faculty.

Adhering to the primary mission of the Virginia State Bar to regulate the profession and protect the public, these would include advancing efforts to enhance access to legal services and to focus on the health of the profession.”
