Déjà vu?
Some of you may be thinking this issue’s Focus On article seems familiar. First, I
want to thank you for your readership of TPJ. Second, I want to explain the
wonderful thing that happened after the last issue of the TPJ was distributed: we received
a call inquiring if the TPJ would run an article on the same Focus On issue—Five Years
after House Bill 4—but from the other side of the bar. As you can imagine, I could
hardly contain my joy! Hence, the great article from the plaintiff perspective by Paula
Sweeney and Jim Perdue, Jr. runs in this issue.
Now for the second double-take. Open Door Solutions, LLP is a sustaining member of
the PD and was spotlighted in last issue’s Sustaining Member Profile. Unfortunately,
some gremlins got in the works, and the advertising that Open Door Solutions, LLP
placed in the same issue printed like . . . , well, not right. I can only imagine that the
horror of the fine folks at Open Door Solutions was similar to that of mine when the
problem was discovered—which was about the same time each of you was reviewing
your issue. Open Door Solutions was very kind and understanding, but we clearly had a
problem that needed to be addressed. Please be assured that new procedures are in place
to ensure this never happens again. Our graphic designer, David Timmons, and our
printer all worked together so we now have a system of checks and balances for triple and
quadruple-checking the magazine as it goes to print.
And again, our sincerest apologies to Open Door Solutions for the error; I hope we can
regain their faith—and that of our entire readership—and continued support of the
Division and the TPJ.
