The news item “Pulaski Working to Overcome Past” from Feb. 23 should have attributed advocacy for the relocation of the statute of Sam Davis and renaming of a park and sports stadium to Keidron Turner individually instead of the Community Advisory Council on Inclusive Recognition & Acknowledgement (CACIRA). CACIRA is not advocating for relocation, removal or renaming of any statue, plaque or stadium. This news item has been corrected on the TBA Today webpage.

Berger joins the Academic Success and Bar Preparation Department from Gonzaga University School of Law.

Shields III will teach civil procedure, business organization and business law-related electives. He most recently served as general counsel for Littlefield Holdings in Cumberland County.
