I have been elected to be the next Assistant Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of the Legal Writing Institute. The journal is a peer reviewed and edited professional journal focusing on scholarship related to legal discourse and communication. Kristin Gerdy from BYU is the new Editor-in-Chief. I am really looking forward to working with Kristin. We have known each other for nearly 10 years now, and we have worked together on many projects. She is one of my favorite people in the profession. Brooke Bowman from Stetson University remains the Managing Editor. She is the person who really makes things happen.
I have been on the journal's editorial board since 2006. During the time I have been on the board I have had the distinct good fortune to be able to work with people like Mary Beth Beasley, Ken Chestek, Jim Levy, Kathi Stanchi and others. I am humbled to be in their company, and hope to live up to the expectations they have set for this fine publication.
