Lessons From Disney:
Adventures are More Fun with Friends and Anyone Can Be a Friend
By
Kerie S. Trindle Byrne, PLS
I introduced you to my childhood experiences at Disneyland in the last two posts in this
series and discussed how over the course of thirty years, I learned several lessons from
Disney. If you have read the previous posts, you know I use my Disney experiences and
apply those lessons to everything I do today, including my involvement with NALS. The
first lesson I shared with you was that cast members are there to help you, just like NALS
members. The second lesson was details enhance the guest experience at Disneyland and
the membership experience in NALS. I have also learned from Disney (and my parents)
that adventures are more fun with friends and anyone can be a friend.
Growing up, my family was a small group; a family of five made up of my parents, me, my
sister, Koleen, and my brother, Shawn. Everyone in my family is an extrovert. My dad explores the world by trying to figure out
everyone and everything. He asks a lot of questions and is actively involved in whatever is going on around him. My mom is the
kind of person who will talk to everyone, other park guests, cast members, performers-everyone, and she will do it everywhere.
She will strike up conversations with people standing in line, washing hands in the ladies’ room, having lunch, sitting on a park
bench for a parade-everywhere. As a kid, I would sometimes be embarrassed by this, but as an adult, I get it. We were able to have
experiences inside and outside of the park because they were both so outgoing. My parents were great at networking and making
connections.
Inevitably, we would end our day at Disneyland by sitting down to watch the “Main Street Electrical Parade” or “Fantasmic”
followed by fireworks. As the crowds began to converge, my parents would invite conversation with the people around us. If there
was empty space, they found a nice family to fill it. We met people from all over the country and the world. I even developed a
pen-pal relationship with a girl from Australia. Because they spoke with cast members, as well, we have been able to ride in the
Lilly Belle Caboose, steer the Mark Twain, experience parades, “Fantasmic” and “World of Color” from preferred locations. Yes,
my parents even formed a relationship with Lagniappe, the mime, who performed in New Orleans Square. He gave us a backstage
tour of part of New Orleans Square and the Disney Art Gallery above Pirates of the Caribbean. Since developing a relationship
with him, my parents have seen Mark Wenzel perform at other locations around California. Everyone was a friend.
The same is true at NALS, everyone is a friend, even someone we have never met before. As members, we share common goals,
experiences and interests. Simply by virtue of our membership, we all work in the legal field in one way or another. Guests at our
meetings and events are there for a specific purpose. They want to obtain CLE hours, information on a specific topic, interest in the
association, or they want to form relationships with other legal professionals. We have more things in common with each other
than we do differences.
Networking is one of the fundamental differences between NALS and other legal support professional organizations. Networking
is the reason I joined NALS and not another association. At local, state, regional and national meetings, you will find time set aside
for members, guests, vendors and sponsors to interact with one another. NALS believes in networking so much that we include it
as a part of our Mission Statement, “NALS is dedicated to enhancing the competencies and contributions of members in the legal
services profession. NALS accomplishes its mission and supports the public interest through…networking opportunities at the
local, state, regional and national levels…” We have fun while we fulfill our responsibilities to our profession and our association.
I challenge you to take a page from the Greg and Merrinda Trindle Disney handbook. The next time you are at a NALS event and
there is someone you have never met before, strike up a conversation with them. Maybe you can send an e-mail to a member you
do not know well inviting him or her to lunch. Perhaps you could send a thank you note to a presenter or vendor you met at a
meeting and ask them more about what they do. Listen to the people in your office and in your building. Find out what interests
them and what you have in common. You never know what your next experience will be. They could be the connection to a new
project, a career move, a new NALS member or simply someone who shares a similar interest or hobby. You may even make a
new friend.

Dear Members:
We are in the process of starting a certification study group in the Phoenix area and, if you are interested in
getting involved, please let me know; I've attached a sign-up form for your convenience. The exams will be
given on the last Saturday of September [September 29, 2012] in Phoenix, and the deadline to apply is
August 1.
There are three levels of certification offered by NALS and these are the basic qualifications for each level;
detailed information is available on the NALS website at http://www.nals.org/?page_id=15
ALS - Accredited Legal Secretary, the basic certification. It is designed for those with a minimum of one year
general office experience or who have completed an accredited business/legal course and/or the NALS Legal
Training Course.
PLS - Professional Legal Secretary, the advanced certification. It is designed for candidates with three years'
experience in the legal field who can demonstrate a mastery of office skills; the ability to interact on a
professional level with attorneys, clients, and other support staff; the discipline to assume responsibility and
exercise initiative and judgment; and who have a working knowledge of procedural law, the law library, and
how to prepare legal documents.
PP - Professional Paralegal, a certification designed for legal support staff with five years’ experience
performing paralegal/legal assistant duties (a candidate may receive a partial waiver of one year if he or she
has a post-secondary degree, other certification, or a paralegal certificate; a candidate with a paralegal degree
may receive a two-year partial waiver) who work under the supervision of a practicing lawyer or a judge.
I know that some of you have already set a certification goal for yourself, and you should pat yourself on the
back for doing this - it will be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life.
Please let me know if you are interested in joining the group for this session, and we'll make our plans after we
get a good headcount. I have an out-of-the box idea for conducting the group this year... one that will make it
easy for everyone to attend!

Michael K. Jeanes, Clerk of the Superior Court for Maricopa County
THE BRIEF
Vol. 8, No. 7
July 2012
Moving? Changing Firms?
Whether you or the entire firm are moving to a new office,
remember to keep your information updated with the Clerk’s
Office, including your preferred email address. The accuracy of the
attorney address database depends on your timely updates and
what you put into the system. This impacts regular mail, minute
entries and other notices from the Clerk and Court. Changes to
attorney contact information can be made on the Clerk’s website at
http://www.clerkofcourt.maricopa.gov/address_change_form.asp.
You should also contact the Clerk’s Office if you notice a former
employee’s documents are still being sent to your firm.
ECR to Double Over Two Years
The Clerk’s Office recently started its largest-ever scanning project. A
records management and information technology company will scan and
convert over 337,000 court case files into 56 million electronic images for
storage in the Clerk’s electronic court record (ECR). The project will take
over 24 months, eliminating almost 8,500 square feet of files and file
shelving and double the size of the Office’s electronic records repository.
The conversion of these records will achieve many key records
management objectives for the office: Improve faster access to the records
for the staff and the public; improve security of the records; reduce
liability of the Clerk’s Office due to elimination of accidental damage and
lost or misplaced documents; and improve long-term storage and physical
space strategy for the Office’s growth and the millions of records it
manages. Stay tuned to The Brief for project updates.
ECR Milestones
Ten years ago the Clerk’s Office started digitizing all paper records in adult case-type Superior Court cases. Paper
documents in cases that originated in 2002 went through a time-intensive dual process to scan and maintain the
digital image and keep the paper record in a physical case file.
Five years ago, effective 1/1/07, the Arizona Supreme Court designated the electronic court record as the official
record in the Superior Court in Maricopa County. This designation recognized the security and dependability of the
ECR and allowed the Clerk’s Office to destroy the paper, thus reclaiming much-needed space for an increasing
number of filings. Multiple quality assurance checks and improving technology allow the Clerk’s Office to maintain
the electronic record more reliably and faster than the standards for paper.
This year the Clerk’s Office was recognized with an innovation award from the National Association of Counties
for the ECR Online, which makes public records in individual cases available over the internet to parties and their
attorneys.

Thank You
State Bar Convention Volunteers
from Ed Pavese, PLS
On behalf of the State Bar of Arizona, and NALS of Phoenix, I want to thank all the volunteers
who supported the State Bar Convention at the Biltmore Hotel June 20-22, 2012. I know I had
a fantastic time and I always feel better when I do things for fun and for free. From all reports,
everyone who volunteered had a great time. It is a great opportunity to be of service, promote
NALS and yourself and even get to attend some great CLE sessions for free. I recently
received a letter from Nancy Nichols at the State Bar of Arizona thanking us. In part Nancy
wrote: “[w]e sincerely appreciate your coordinating the NALS volunteers … [y]ou and the
others can always be depended upon to do a great job.” Also, “[n]ext year’s convention is
scheduled for June 19-21, 2013 at the Biltmore, so I look forward to our working together
again to secure good, dependable people to help out.” NALS of Phoenix and NALS as an
organization has a reputation of being good, dependable and doing a great job. Nancy has high
praise for our volunteers. All of this is a great reflection on you, the volunteers, and on NALS
as a whole and should make us all proud to be part of such a dynamic and outgoing
organization.

Have a NALS adventure on the way Portland for the 2012 National Forum!
By
I like to travel, as many of you know, and I’ve found a way to have a travel adventure on the way to this year’s
NALS National Forum in Portland, Oregon – Amtrak!
There’s always the fly option… Southwest Airlines has flights from Phoenix and Tucson to Portland and back
throughout the day; fares range from $290 from Phoenix/$273 from Tucson. Expedia has similar offerings on
Alaska Airlines and other carriers for the same fares. But if you’re willing to invest only about $150 more,
your trip can become an adventure.
Amtrak’s Sunset Limited calls at tiny Maricopa AZ on Sunday evening on its way from New Orleans to Los
Angeles. The station features a former converted California Zephyr dome observation lounge car. After the
9:02 departure, we’ll ride through the southwest desert during the night and arrive in Los Angeles at 5:35 a.m.
after a restful snooze in one of Amtrak’s Superliner Roomette berths. The Superliner Roomette is ideal for one
or two passengers, with two comfortable reclining seats on either side of a big picture window. At night, the
seats convert to a comfortable bed, and an upper berth folds down from above. Roomettes are located on both
upper and lower levels of the double-decker Superliner train cars. Each Roomette features:




Meals included
Picture window
Electrical outlets
Climate control
Individual reading lights
Garment rack
Fold-down table
Fresh towels and bed linens
Soap and shower amenities
Personal service (turn-down, coffee, paper, make-up bed)
Bottled water
Daily newspaper
There’s a short layover in the beautiful Los Angeles Union Station on Monday morning. The station is a
luxurious blend of Spanish and Art Deco styles, reflecting both the city’s early heritage and its great film
tradition. Opened in 1939, it is the last of the great “union stations” serving multiple railroads. We board
Amtrak’s Coast Starlight at 10:25 a.m. for the scenic overnight trip to Portland, Oregon. Here’s what Amtrak
has to say about the journey:
En route daily between Los Angeles and Seattle, the Coast Starlight train passes through the
San Francisco Bay Area, Santa Barbara, Sacramento and Portland. Widely regarded as one of
the most spectacular of all train routes, the Coast Starlight links the greatest cities on the West
Coast. The scenery along the Coast Starlight route is unsurpassed. The dramatic snow-covered
peaks of the Cascade Range and Mount Shasta, lush forests, fertile valleys and long stretches of
Pacific Ocean shoreline provide a stunning backdrop for your journey.

This legendary train now features enhanced coaches and sleeping cars, along with exclusive
new amenities. The Dining Car offers fresh cuisine served on real china and table linens, while
the Arcade Room will entertain kids of all ages with a great selection of arcade-style video
games. Coach passengers enjoy big, comfortable seats, plenty of legroom and new, larger
pillows, plus available at-seat meal service.
Sleeping car passengers can experience a full range of exclusive services and amenities on the
Coast Starlight, including complimentary onboard internet access via AmtrakConnect and an
exciting alternative meal service, both available in the Parlour Car. Each sleeping car passenger
will receive complimentary meals (with the exception of alcohol) in the Dining Car or the
Parlour Car, a special welcome gift and a personal amenities kit that includes shampoo, soaps
and lotions. A daily tasting of local wines and artisan cheeses is available for a nominal fee in
the refurbished Pacific Parlor Car. This "living room on rails" is the perfect place for sleeping
car passengers to relax, celebrate or socialize. With a specialty coffee bar, onboard theater and
alternative dining venue, the Pacific Parlour Car will make your Coast Starlight experience
unforgettable.
So for that extra $150, we’ll enjoy two nights onboard the train, plus four fine meals served on china and white
linen. Not to mention the luxury of having space to move around as we please and lovely large windows to
enjoy the scenery. Yes, it takes a couple of days, but what a vacation opportunity. Look for details at
www.amtrak.com and join me for a unique NALS travel adventure.
