Editor's Note
by Rhonda J. Brashears
This issue is an exciting one; it announces yet another mile stone for the Division, a name
change. I believe that this is a step in the right direction in continuing to keep our profession in
the most professional light possible and, as always, the Paralegal Division is at the front of this
endeavor.
In addition to the name change and change in terminology we have other important changes
in the way of the Paralegal Division website and e-group. You can now find the Paralegal Division on
the web at www.txpd.org. You will need to visit the new website to renew your rights to the e-group.
Just log into the members only section, and follow the directions given there for signing up for the
e-group. We have a new Webmaster and have several new ideas for making our website more powerful to
better serve the Paralegal Division members.
This issue of our magazine is chalked full of helpful
articles from wonderful authors. We have an article to assist with calculating economic damages, one
which gives some insight on implementing a software training system and an article which breaks down
the numbers between traditional court filings and e-filing. I hope you enjoy these and all the other
great articles in this issue.
Finally, I would like to thank the Publications Committee members
(listed to the right) for their hard work this year. The magazine would not be possible without you.
I look forward to working with some of these people and some very excited new Publications Committee
members in the next year. Have a blessed summer.
