LA Law Library Board of Trustees Appoints Sandra J. Levin as Executive Director
December 18, 2012 -- LA Law Library Board of Trustees today announced that Sandra J. Levin will be
joining LA Law Library as Executive Director, effective December 26, 2012, succeeding Marcia J. Koslov,
who is retiring after 7-1/2 years in the position.
“We are extremely pleased that Sandi will be joining the LA Law Library full time” said Susan
Steinhauser, President of the Library’s Board of Trustees. “She has already distinguished herself in her
role as the Law Library’s General Counsel. With a total of 25 years in the legal profession in roles ranging
from named partner to elected official, she brings an extraordinary blend of experience and ability to
the Library. Her legal intellect, thoughtful approach to problem-solving and planning, and interpersonal
and management skills, make her the ideal leader as we expand our position as a leading legal research
and community center."
As the Law Library’s General Counsel for the last two years, Ms. Levin has had the opportunity to
familiarize herself with its operations, finances and staff. She also comes to the Executive Director
position with management, budget and strategic planning experience from a variety of perspectives. As
a founder, owner and co-manager of her law firm, Colantuono& Levin, she is responsible for
approximately 20 employees and a vibrant, successful law practice. As Mayor and Councilmember of
Culver City she had firsthand experience overseeing a budget of over $80,000,000, hundreds of
employees and diverse municipal operations. As both general and special counsel to numerous
government agencies, she has acquired an in depth knowledge of public sector governance and
operations.
“I am excited to be joining the LA Law Library at such a momentous time,” Ms. Levin said. “The
accomplishments of Marcia and her staff over the last seven and half years are nothing short of
remarkable. I look forward to carrying out the vision of the Board of Trustees to reach a larger segment
of the public and the legal community, provide services both virtually and at our Main Library, branch
and partnership locations and open our doors to a broader range of events and activities.”
Ms. Levin has been a named principal at Colantuono& Levin [originally known as Neufeld, Jaffe, Levin
&Colantuono, LLP] since 2001 and was previously a principal at the firm of Riordan &McKinzie. She
received her juris doctor from Boalt Hall School of Law in 1987. Recent accolades include being named
one of California’s top 25 municipal lawyers in 2012.
