Harold Healy Jr., the first U.S. lawyer elected president of Union Internationale des Avocats, the world's oldest international bar federation, died Sunday in New York at the age of 85. He was once a partner at Debevoise & Plimpton, where, in 1964, he opened the firm's Paris office -- its first outside New York. Healy was also involved in efforts that led to 1974 legislation that allowed foreign lawyers to become legal consultants in New York without having to become U.S. citizens or take the bar exam.
