NEWS, APRIL 20:

“HARD COPY”

PARTICULARLY MOVING

I loved the Reporter’s recent article about the New Mexico Roll of Attorneys. It was fascinating to learn about the gaps in the Roll during the last major pandemic and about the history of the signers. It was particularly moving to learn about Mr. Malone, New Mexico’s first Black attorney. Signing the Roll is a grand tradition for New Mexico’s new lawyers and it’s good to learn that the tradition is now revived. Kudos to Jeff Proctor for his reporting on this story. SOPHIE S.
