Alberto began practicing family law at Gulf Coast Legal Services defending indigent victims of domestic violence. While at Mason Black & Caballero, PA, Alberto earned his Board Certification in Marital and Family Law – a professional milestone in which he took great pride. He opened Alberto Romero, PA in 2011. Alberto passed away in early Janu- ary 2015. He is survived by his longtime partner, Jeremy Bowers, his father, and extended family, all of whom he loved dearly. Colleagues remember Alberto for his positive disposition and professionalism. Friends re- member him for his zest for life, most notably expressed by his passion for family, laughter, and world travel. Not only has the Section lost a respected member, but the world has lost a generous and vibrant soul. The Sec- tion's heartfelt thoughts and deepest sympathies are with Alberto's family. Comments from the Co-Chairs of Publication Committee One of our favorite things about chairing this committee is intro- duction, by way of fabulous articles, to our many attorneys in the Family Law Section. This edition of The Commentator is no excep- tion and is chock full of great information, analysis, tidbits, hot tips, and great ways to approach

  • Catalog Course Schedule 2017 Annual Report from the Executive Office
    2018 Catalog Course Schedule 2017 Annual Report From the Executive Office The Institute for Court Management (ICM) is proud to present its 2018 catalog. The catalog contains information about ICM’s courses and certification programs as well as information about ICM’s distance education services, provided by our Creative Learning Services team. The catalog is written both for individuals and for an audience of judicial branch education staff and administrators who decide whether to invest in court manager and staff education for their state or court organization. ICM -- the educational arm of the National Center for State Courts – was established in 1970 under the leadership of Chief Justice of the United States Warren E. Burger to support the work of the state courts through education, research, information and consulting. Throughout ICM’s more than four decades of partnership with the state courts, our focus has remained on the issues and trends most important to the administration of justice, resulting in continuous progress toward the achievement of justice for all. This year’s catalog highlights the courses that build toward ICM certifications. We are excited to announce that each of the six courses for the Certified Court Manager (CCM) credential have been revised, and work is underway on the revision of courses leading toward the Certified Court Executive (CCE) credential. In order to align our courses with the residential Fellows program, the CCE courses are being revised and two courses are being created this year (see pages 6-8 for a summary of changes and a new look for our certification model).

THE BACKGROUND UNDER the impact of a unique indigenous spirit of reformduring the last decade, Puerto Rico has become a truly exciting laboratory for social ex- perimentation. The bold attempt to achieve rapid industrialization of its business and commercial life, dramatized under its slogan "Operation Boot- strap," marked a new era in the economy of the country.' The considerable success of this venture, with its particularly intriguing use of taxation or tax- exemption as an assisting prop, has received wide comment.2 Now govern- mental developments are keeping pace. Under grant of authority by Congress, the first governor to be elected by the people of Puerto Rico in place of presi- dential appointment, Luis Mun6z Mlarin, took office on January 2, 1949. A new constitution, adopted in the Constitutional Convention of Puerto Rico pursuant to congressional authority, was approved by the people and accepted by Congress in 1952.3 It creates a new body politic known in Spanish as "El Estado Libre Asociado de Puerto Rico," and in English as "The Com- monwealth of Puerto Rico," comprised of people who are citizens both of the United States and of the island commonwealth, and having powers different from, and in some respects greater than, either a territory or a tUnited States Circuit Judge, Second Circuit; formerly Dean, Yale Law School.
