Margaret H. Marshall, Senior Counsel at Choate, Hall & Stewart, has been elected a member of the American Philosophical Society (APS).
Election to the APS honors extraordinary accomplishments in all fields.

An eminent scholarly organization of international reputation, the American Philosophical Society promotes useful knowledge in the sciences and humanities through excellence in scholarly research, professional meetings, support of young scholars, publications, library resources, a museum and community outreach.
