The recent passing of two well-known and respected Marin lawyers—long-time Marin Superior Court Judge Faye D’Opal and local attorney/mediator and 2024 MCBA President Scott Buell—has perhaps contributed to my feeling greater melancholy than I normally feel during my chronic periods of Trump presidency distress and anxiety. However, despite everything happening around us, I feel that our entire community, myself included, needs to keep moving ahead, one step at a time.

It is with great sadness that I let the membership of the Marin County Bar Association know of the death of our 2024 MCBA President, Scott Buell. Scott passed away today, June 11, 2026, of cancer. Scott, a resident of Novato, was most recently a mediator with his own firm, Buell Law and Mediation. Scott is survived by his wife of 18 years, Grace.
