New Location for Graduation

Here's some news I just heard that should be of interest to the S.A. law community:

St. Mary's University School of Law is moving its graduation ceremony from on campus to downtown. My classmates and I walked the stage at the school's traditional graduation location, the Bill Greehey Arena. Many law students didn't like the thought of receiving their diploma on a basketball court, so the Student Bar Association--and Keith McMahon in particular--worked to convince the law school administration to change that.

As Keith announced in an email to law students, in 2009, the law school graduation ceremony will take place at the Municipal Auditorium, followed by a reception at the Crowne Plaza Hotel.

So congrats to Keith and the SBA for their hard work. (Although I have to admit I am a little jealous.)

Opening Statement

As a new lawyer, I looked around the Internet for a blog focusing on legal issues in the San Antonio area. Since I didn't really find anything, I decided to start my own. I'm a former journalist, so I still fall into habit of wanting to keep people informed.

I hope to highlight news of interest to lawyers in Bexar County and the surrounding area and perhaps provide a place for local attorneys to discuss issues relevant to the SA legal community. If you find out something of interest, drop me a note and I will try to publicize it.
