G-A Newa Service

Web design used to be nothing- more than a hobby for attorney Rebecca Davis, but she has found an ideal way to combine her computer knowledge with her legal background in a professional setting. An associate professor in Georgia Southern University's Department of Political Science, Davis has been de- signing web pages for courts in four state judicial districts that cover 86 counties. Her work will continue after the University signed a contract on Mon- day, Aug. 12, with the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC), which is coordinating the web page project. "This is a wonderful way of getting important information out to people, and it also lessens the load on the court system," Davis said. "When people can pull up information on a web page, it means they don't have to call the clerk or make a trip to the courthouse." Accessible at www.georgiacourts.org, the web site contains links to courts all over Georgia, ranging from the state Su- preme Court to local probate courts. Kennesaw State University, Valdosta State University and Sandersville Special to the G-A Technical College are also involved Attorney and GSU Associate Professor Rebecca Davis shows one of in the project. her web site designs to Georgia Supreme Court Chief Justice Norman "I'm very excited about what this Fletcher Monday afternoon. consortium has done for our web site," said Georgia Supreme Court Under the direction of Greg "I had an awful lot of help from Chief Justice Norman Fletcher, who Arnold, the assistant director for them," she said.

Job openings in retail, economy coming back?

KRT Campus

DALLAS- Job seekers looking for the next hot hiring sector may want to head to their nearest shop- ping center. The retail sector is the quiet giant in the labor market right now. though it may not be quiet for long. Job openings are abundant locally and nationally, and business experts are predicting that retail will be the industry to recover the fastest as the economy regains its footing. A recent survey by TEC Interna- tional, a group of more than 6,000 chief executive officers, found that most CEOs- 33 percent- say that retail will be the fastest-recovering industry, beating manufacturing, biotechnology and information technology. "I think that perspective is pretty spot-on with what we see," said Paul Rostron, senior vice president of hu- man resources for copy giant Kinko's Inc., which relocated to Dallas earlier this year.
