(Aug. 19) – The Texas Tech University School of Law became the national headquarters for Scribes—The American Society of Legal Writers effective August 1.

Texas Tech Law Dean Darby Dickerson, whose term as president of the group ended at the beginning of the month, was instrumental in the Scribes’ move. The legal writing organization will be headquartered in Lubbock for at least three years with an option to renew.

“I’ve been honored to serve as an officer and director of Scribes for more than a decade,” Dickerson said in a statement. “The organization’s move to Texas Tech is exciting for many reasons, one of which is our law school’s long emphasis on and leadership in legal writing.”

Jamie Baker, the faculty services librarian at the law school, will serve as Scribes’ executive director and Michele Thaetig, senior business assistant, will serve as its administrative assistant.
Scribes had been headquartered at the Thomas M. Cooley Law School at Western Michigan University since 2005.
