Medfield BOS Notes: BC Law Student to Help Review State Hospital Bylaws

The Board of Selectmen reviewed the resume of Boston College Law student, Alex Levine and approved his request to assist in bylaw review of Medfield State Hospital.

The Medfield Board of Selectmen approved Boston College Law student, Alex Levine to be a volunteer in the bylaw review process of the Medfield State Hospital. 

The Selectmen reviewed Levine's resume at the April 19 meeting and determined he was qualified for the task. Medfield resident, Bill Massaro, suggested to the Board of Selectmen at the April 5 meeting that Levine be considered for the work and e-mailed the law student's resume for review. 

The Selectmen were expected to review the Medfield State Hospital checklist and review and discuss the bylaws but that was postponed, according to Selectmen chair Olser "Pete" Peterson, because the bylaw information was received the night of the meeting.
