Editor's Note
by Rhonda J. Brashears
Here
we are again right in the middle of the holiday season. It
is one of my favorite times of the year, minus the hectic traffic and impatient people of course.
It is a time when many of us get together with friends and family to enjoy and remember.
This issue of the Texas
Paralegal Journal contains a little bit of remembering the past, as well as reminding us
of just how far we have come, not only our Nation but as a Division of the State Bar of Texas.
The article by Judge Lora J. Livingston provides a wonderful history lesson on the Brown
v. Board of Education of Topeka Kansas decision which broke down the walls of segregation
in our public schools.
The article by Michele Border on the Texas Board of Legal Specialization reminds Texas
paralegals of the opportunities that are now available because of the hard work of so many people
over 10 years ago.
This issue also highlights a couple of new services that are now available to both members of
the Legal Assistants Division and non-members that will continue to further our profession.
One such article is by Pam Horn debuting On-Line CLE. This
has been a work in progress for more than 3 years and will finally be aired soon.
The other is by Carolyn Goff to announce the LAD Ambassador program.
This is a wonderful new program designed to bring information about LAD and other relevant
topics to the local associations across the state.
I hope that you enjoy this issue, and I sincerely wish you and your family a blessed holiday
season and new year.
