G. Michael Pace, managing Partner at Gentry Locke Rakes & Moore and Tracy Allen Giles of Giles & Lambert, have been inducted into the Virginia Law Foundation 2010 Class of Fellows. Of the 25 inductees at the Jan. 21 dinner at the Virginia Bar Association Annual Meeting in Williamsburg, they are the only Roanokers.

Induction as a Fellow of the Virginia Law Foundation is an honor conferred by the Virginia Law Foundation board to select Virginia attorneys, law professors, and retired members of the judiciary who are deemed to be outstanding in their professions and in their communities.

In addition to his participation as a board member of a number of regional organizations, Pace was instrumental in establishing The Virginia Bar Association Rule of Law Project, an educational program for Virginia middle school students that was recently introduced to a global audience.

Giles practices bankruptcy law with his wife Malissa Lambert Giles and serves on board of Apple Ridge Farm, a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide outdoor experiences and academic programs for inner city and at-risk youth. He also serves on the Board of Blue Ridge Legal Services.
