PREPARING FOR THE NEXT STEP Assuming the position of Chair of this Section is a. daunting notion. That is, until you c.onsider the high caliber of talent and leadership that is represented among the officers and members of the Council for the coming year. And, if you add the strength of past chairs and past Council members who continue to play key roles and make significant contributions to the Section, one cannot help being buoyed by optimism and confidence. The prospect of collaboration and consensus. building with other sections of the State Bar of Texas, other dispute resolution organizations: in Texas, ar well as national and international organizations, adds to the promise of an exciting and productiv year, as this Section continues to examine its role and place in the dispute resolution community: o promoting the use and quality of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in Texas. This Is the twentieth year that I have been involved in the ADR movement in Texas. While rummaging through some old files of mine on ADR, I ran. across a =Report on the old Houston Neighborhood Justice Center, written by Lynne Liberato (the current State Bar President). It was Volume i, Number II, dated November 1980. The Report announced that the Houston Neighborhood Justice Center (NJC) had just begun offering mediation on October 6, 1980 to citizens frustrated by criminal and civil disputes. It further announced that First Court of Appeals Judge James P. Wallace swore in 46 volunteers as trained mediators on September 28, 1980, and, that these mediators had just completed two weekends (forty hours) of intensive training.
