NEW BEDFORD -- Mayor-elect Scott W. Lang has named Irene B. Schall, a city attorney who once served as city treasurer, as city solicitor.
"She's got a lot of experience, she brings a lot of different things to the city," said Mr. Lang, in making the appointment public yesterday. "She's got excellent judgment. I think she'll represent the city very well." ...
Ms. Schall, of New Bedford, was a board member and civil attorney for the Fall River Diocese Sexual Abuse Review Board, and she drafted regulations for the diocese to follow in cases of sexual abuse of minors by members of the clergy. The rules became a national model.
