Blessings by
Patty Stewart |
 |
…we can add blessings
to the lives of others in the most minute
ways and, in return, we will be rewarded with
blessings of our own.
Recently, I read a book called Blessings.
It’s a novel by Anna Quindlen and the plot
revolves around a very wealthy older lady
with the last name of Blessing and a very
poor young man who works for her. It not only
tells the story of how these two lives become
entwined but it also |
|
 |
illustrates how their lives were shaped by their
pasts. It’s a story that combines strength, love
and support. In the end, though there was a struggle,
they each received blessings because of the other.
While I cannot begin to fathom what the victims
of Katrina have faced – the heartbreak, humiliation
and frustration from losing everything – the disaster
has shown that the United States has a population
of generous, caring individuals who step up to the
plate and pull together to help its fellow man or
woman.
It’s been with a sense of pride that I have watched
as many of the ALA chapters around the country,
including the Dallas Chapter, have pledged $10 per
member to the American Red Cross and, in some chapters,
this amount has been more. Also, law firms of all
sizes have had employee fundraisers where they have
matched contributions. They have also collected
food, clothing, furniture and household items to
give Katrina families a helping hand. Many firms
have also offered office space. So, indeed, we can
be proud of our profession as it responds in many
ways to this horrible disaster.
Locally, the Dallas Chapter has a couple of other
community service projects going on. “Support the
Troops” has been a tremendous success. Again, the
generosity of the Chapter members has been astounding
as we continue to remember the men and women who
are in Iraq, Afghanistan, and around the world serving
our country and making sure that our way of life
is secure. As if that wasn’t enough, we have yet
another opportunity to make a difference by walking
on October 15 in the Susan G. Komen Race for the
Cure. Most of us know at least one person who has
been affected by this horrible disease. So, please
consider participating. As Jeff Gill announced at
our membership meeting, “You don’t have to run!”
Just as the story is written in Anna Quindlen’s
book Blessings, we can add blessings to the lives
of others in the most minute ways and, in return,
we will be rewarded with blessings of our own. All
it takes is a little strength, love and support.
See you in November!

Prepare for the Worst - Hope for the Best By
Nita Starnes |
|
 |
| |
Legal
administrators are responsible for keeping all aspects
of the business operations continually operating smoothly
and optimally. Over the past decade, we have begun developing
disaster prevention and recovery plans for our law firms
in case we find ourselves facing an unthinkable disaster.
During that time period, a tornado devastated Fort Worth
colleagues’ offices, the nation experienced the
horror of terrorists’ attacks, and the heartbreaking
scenes from our Gulf Coast neighbors’ recent calamity
are still unfolding. These events are jolting reminders
that we are all susceptible to any number of disasters.
In his article, “Be Prepared, Plan Ahead and Survive
When Disaster Strikes,” Phil Guerra
said, “First thoughts in any discussion of disaster
planning turn to major natural calamities:
floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, blizzards. However, it
is the smaller events (power failures, bomb threats, medical
emergencies, or computer network failures) that often
have a more devastating effect on firm productivity and
viability…”Whether an organization encounters
a small event or a large disaster, it is critical that
business operations continue on an uninterrupted basis
to ensure the organization’s survival. Mr. Guerra
offers the following approach to a well developed emergency
plan.
PUT THE PLAN ON THE PAPER
For additional resources, the following outline will help
you codify and implement your disaster plan:
To be properly prepared for all kinds of disasters, put
your plan on paper and distribute your security manual
to all employees. Include contingencies and instructions
for various levels of personnel.
Here is a segment from one firm’s manual. This sample
illustrates only the most initial response to the emergency
situation described. The administrator’s personal disaster
plan should include a complete set of guidelines for dealing
with these issues long term – that is, finding alternative
office space, initializing document recovery, contacting
insurance companies.
Use these ideas as a starting point for your own plan:
 |
Office Security |
 |
| Firm
offices need to be secure because we have valuable
items and client material in the offices. We are
required by ethical canons to protect the confidentiality
of client materials, and our own proprietary materials
which enhances our ability to provide quality
legal services to our clients.
a. LOBBY DOORS. Lobby
doors should never be propped open, especially
during off-hours, and employees who find them
open should shut them immediately. This also applies
to stairwell doors. Firm employees are issued
building access cards to permit them access to
the office during off-hours. Under no circumstances
should the building access card be given to anyone
who is not an employee of the firm.
b. VISITORS.
All visitors to the office must be greeted in
the reception area and escorted to the appropriate
office or conference room. Visitors should NOT
be given our key-pad code. Please discourage friends
and relatives from entering our office directly.
Anyone who sees an unescorted, unfamiliar person
should tactfully ask that person who he/she is
looking for and should offer assistance in locating
that person or department. (Please note that such
a person may be found in private offices as well
as in hallways.) If the person says he/she is
in the wrong place, he/she should be escorted
to the elevator lobby and onto an elevator. Those
who are expecting visitors after hours should
make prior arrangements for them to be permitted
access to our floors.

Jones
Day |
|
 |
|
Firm Human Resources Manager |
|
| Q. |
What
did you do prior to your present job? |
 |
| A. |
I
was the Dallas HR Manager for Jones Day for
about seven years. Prior to that I was the
HR Director for a division of Computer Sciences
Corporation. |
 |
| Q. |
What
are your responsibilities and title at your
present law firm/organization? |
 |
| A. |
Firm
Human Resources Manager - I advise and assist
in development of HR policies and practices;
lead task forces and special projects; perform
triage for legal input on discipline and other
issues; Manage HRIS. |
 |
| Q. |
How
long have you been in law office management? |
 |
| A. |
Almost
9 Years |
 |
| Q. |
Why
did you choose legal management as your career? |
 |
| A. |
Actually,
it’s more like I chose HR as my career and
have always worked in a professional services
environment. I have found that I enjoy and
prefer legal of the various professional services
areas. |
 |
| Q. |
How
long have you been a member of ALA? |
 |
| A. |
Since
2001 |
 |
| Q. |
What
do you enjoy best about being a part of ALA? |
 |
| A. |
The
interaction with other chapter members. |
 |
| Q. |
How
has your affiliation with ALA helped your
career? |
 |
| A. |
It’s
given me suggestions for resolutions and insights
into issues that are specific to legal management. |
 |
| Q. |
Identify
the major changes that have occurred in law
firms and/or legal management during your
career. |
 |
| A. |
The
continuing change of the secretarial role
as well as the overall impact of an ever-changing
technology. |
 |
| Q. |
What
major changes do you predict law firms and/or
legal management will experience in the next
five years? |
 |
| A. |
As
fewer individuals strive to become legal secretaries,
recruiting for them will become an increasing
challenge. We may need to discover new ways
to engage and encourage experienced secretaries
as their duties and responsibilities evolve. |
 |
| Q. |
What
outside interests do you have? Tell us something
about your personal life, i.e., married, single,
hobbies, pets, organizations you participate

 |
Littler
Mendelson, P.C. |
|
 |
|
Office Administrator |
|
| Q. |
What
did you do prior to your present job? |
 |
| A. |
I
was a legal secretary for 17 years prior to
going into legal management. I started working
for Steve McCown, an attorney at Clark West,
when I was a teenager and still work with
him at Littler Mendelson today. Federal Judge
Barefoot Sanders gave me my first job as a
legal secretary at Clark West. I still remember
how terrified I was during the interview process. |
 |
| Q. |
What
are your responsibilities and title at your
present law firm/organization? |
 |
| A. |
I
am Office Administrator for Littler Mendelson’s
Dallas office. I’m responsible for the general
management of the office. |
 |
| Q. |
How
long have you been in law office management? |
 |
| A. |
12
Years |
 |
| Q. |
Why
did you choose legal management as your career? |
 |
| A. |
Legal
management chose me--I was in the right place
at the right time. I was working for Littler’s
Managing Shareholder when our Office Administrator
resigned. The last thing she said to me while
she was walking out the door was “Barbara,
YOU could do this job.” While the shareholders
spent several months interviewing for a replacement,
I managed the office and thought about what
she had said to me. Finally, after a bit of
convincing on my part, I was offered the position. |
 |
| Q. |
How
long have you been a member of ALA? |
 |
| A. |
12
Years |
 |
| Q. |
What
do you enjoy best about being a part of ALA? |
 |
| A. |
Meeting
other Administrators and hearing their stories.
As Administrators we really don’t have any
peers in our offices and it’s great to be
able to connect with others who are similarly
situated in their offices |
 |
| Q. |
How
has your affiliation with ALA helped your
career? |
 |
| A. |
ALA
gave me a mentor, Shari Doidge, and a group
of peers that I could bounce questions off
of. That was so important to me during my
first years of management. |
 |
| Q. |
Identify
the major changes that have occurred in law
firms and/or legal management during your
career. |
 |
| A. |
Technology
has grown and changed so much that at times
it has been difficult to keep up with those
changes. Also, our young lawyers now are more
self-sufficient administratively than earlier
classes I have worked with. |
 |
| Q. |
What
major changes do you predict law firms and/or
legal management will experience in the next
five years? |
 |
| A. |
Again,
I think technology will contribute to the
major changes in the way we do business. The
future is already here with electronic documents
and records. Because of that technology, I
think we’ll be faced with increased telecommuting
and the HR issues that go along with that.
And, while we’re working with a multi-generational
work force that has already impacted our firm’s
culture (i.e., working with a generation that
thrives on technology), I believe we’ll see
an increased impact as the younger generations
begin to assume management roles in our firms.
Throw a little globalization of our firms
in the mix and I think the next five years
will be very exciting! |
 |
| Q. |
What
outside interests do you have? Tell us something
about your personal life, i.e., married, single,
hobbies, pets, organizations you participate
in, family, friends, etc. |
 |
| A. |
My
husband, Bill, and I are celebrating our 21st
wedding anniversary this month! We have two
kids, Will (15) and Ellie (12). We also have
a canine kid, Kona, a Black Labrador Retriever
that we all absolutely adore. Our children
are very active and we spend much of our time
shuttling them to and from basketball and
volleyball practices, guitar lessons, student
council meetings and choir practices. We are
members of Canyon Creek Presbyterian Church
in Richardson and have been active in the
church for 15 years. |
 |
| Q. |
If
you left legal management what would you like
to do? |
 |
| A. |
My dream job would be choreography. I love
dance and, oh so long ago, I used to work
with area drill teams, taught aerobics classes
and had a little cable program called “the
Workout.” |

At a moment’s notice …
|
you could be called upon to produce an important
e-mail message regarding firm business, a case
or a company policy. Can you access this information
easily? Quickly? Implementing and enforcing an
e-mail retention policy can ensure the security
of this often critical information.
In many organizations, including law firms and
corporate legal departments, there are policies
in place for document retention. But the decision
of whether or not to retain speci.c e-mail messages
is often left to the discretion of the individual
user. As more and more of our communication is
conducted via e-mail, it is becoming increasingly
important for organizations to de.ne standards
for managing these communications.
 |
Spoliation applies to e-mail as well as
other documents |
The deletion
or destruction of email messages relating to ongoing
or anticipated litigation could result in sanctions
or penalties. This should be clearly explained
to all staff members.
 |
Deletion of e-mails by recipients |
Some people routinely
delete e-mails received and save only the attached
files. But e-mail messages frequently serve as
cover letters that show the identities of recipients
and include instructions and comments regarding
attached files. An e-mail could even constitute
evidence of the formation of a contract. Moreover,
an e-mail deleted by one recipient may have been
saved by its sender or another recipient. It is
crucial to remember that the content of messages
you send will be the property of others.
 |
Automatic deletion of Inbox and Sent Message
folders after a given amount of time |
Organizations often
have timeframes for deletion of messages in the
Inbox and Sent Items folders. It is important
to place messages in locations so that they will
not be automatically deleted if they might be
helpful in the future. It is worthwhile to know
the details of the automatic deletion system of
your firm/ company, if such a policy is in effect.
 |
Storage space on server |
Space on the Exchange
or Notes server at many businesses is reaching
capacity. Firms are justifiably setting standards
whereby all personal e-mails must be deleted from
the system due to space constraints so that there
is enough room for business related e-mails.
 |
E-Mail Storage |
An e-mail retention
policy should also address storage of the messages.
Members of the organization should know the answers
to the following questions:
|
|
If a document
management or case management system is
used, how should messages be profiled?
Is profiling required by the law firm/company?; |
| |
If there
is no document management or case management
system in use, how should messages be
stored for access by multiple users? Some
possibilities include: saving the messages
as .pst files in a folder set up by case
and matter, saving as a .pdf file, utilizing
shared folders and/or public folders.
In this way, an attorney who works late
at night from home or who travels can
find pertinent case information remotely
as well at his/her desk; |
| |
Is there
an archive system in place? Where are
the messages archived? Are messages being
archived automatically? If so, are deleted
messages also being archived? If the answer
is “Yes,” this has implications for discovery; |
| |
Does
your organization have network backups
that include storage of email messages?
If so, how long are the backups retained
before being overwritten or destroyed?
Attorney Resource/Dallas, Inc. www.attorneyresource.com; |
| |
Have issues
of attorney/client privilege been discussed
with regard to e-mail messages?; |
Whichever
storage method is employed, users should be sure
to save relevant Sent messages so that they have
a record of what they have written.
 |
Conclusion |
It is imperative
that all organizations analyze the way e-mails
are currently being retained and stored and decide
whether or not they have a clear, consistent and
enforced policy for business-related messages.
Attorneys and administrators should be sure that
all members of the organization “buy in”
to the policy and realize the importance of proper
e-mail retention so that the effectiveness is
ensured.
If, at a moment’s notice, you are called
upon to produce an important e-mail message regarding
firm business, a case or company policy, will
you be able to access the information quickly
and easily? You want the answer to be Yes.

Press
Releases |

WASHINGTON, DC – The Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) announced today that
it will not sanction employers for hiring
victims of Hurricane Katrina who, at this
time, are unable to provide documentation
normally required under Section 274A of the
Immigration and Nationality Act. DHS will
not bring sanction actions against employers
for hiring individuals evacuated or displaced
as a result of Hurricane Katrina otherwise
eligible for employment but who currently
lack personal documents.
U.S. employers are responsible for completing
and retaining Employment Eligibility Verification
(I-9) Forms for individuals they hire for
employment. This form requires employers to
verify employment eligibility and establish
identity through original documents presented
by the employee. For victims of Hurricane
Katrina, many individuals lack these documents
as a result of being evacuated from their
homes, loss or damage to personal items and
records, and ongoing displacement in shelters
and temporary housing. Additionally, as a
result of the widespread damage and destruction
to government facilities in the area affected
by the hurricane it can be expected that many
victims will be unable to apply and receive
new documents in the period of time required
by the employment verification rules.
Therefore, the Department of Homeland Security
will refrain from initiating employer sanction
enforcement actions for the next 45 days for
civil violations, under Section 274A of the
Immigration and Nationality Act, with regard
to individuals who are currently unable to
provide identity and eligibility documents
as a result of the hurricane. Employers will
still need to complete the Employment Eligibility
Verification (I-9) Form as much as possible
but should note at this time that the documentation
normally required is not available due to
the events involving Hurricane Katrina. At
the end of 45 days, the Department of Homeland
Security will review this policy and make
further recommendations.
