Not at this time. But I anticipate that the Florida Supreme Court reach an opinion in the Altman Contractors case re: whether a 558 Defect Notice constitutes a claim under an CGL policy by the time that the next ActionLine is published in the Fall. That might be something to keep your eye on and in your back pocket if there are no other articles in the hopper by the beginning of October.

Thanks Sean.

One final question – before I start reaching out, are you aware of anyone who has expressed interest in authoring an article for future publication?

Brett and Kellie,

Thanks for taking time to address these issues. I am happy that the publications subcommittee has been turned over to capable hands.

In terms of peer-reviewers, you will just need to email the CLC listserv and request peer reviewers for an upcoming article. Provide the listserv participants with the subject matter of the article so that they can determine whether they have the experience or interest to review the article.  You will almost certainly receive at least 2-3 people that will volunteer for the peer review process.

If the article will be published in ActionLine, I usually try to have 1-2 people peer review.

If the article will be published in the Florida Bar Journal, I usually try to have 2-3 people peer review.

Use your discretion in selecting peer reviewers.  For example, if it is an article on Arbitration or ADR and Larry Leiby volunteers, then he might be the best choice to peer review.  If someone volunteers and you do not choose them to peer review, then politely respond that you have received sufficient peer reviewers for this particular article and that you will be saving their names and contact information for future articles (which you should do in the event that no one volunteers on the next article go round).

When sending out the peer review request email, please make sure that you also put in the deadline to receive the peer review edits and comments.  If you do not do so, then the peer reviewers will likely fail to provide you edits in a timely fashion.  In order to set this deadline, you will need to know the submission deadline for the ActionLine or FBJ publication.  I would try to give yourself at least 7-10 days prior to the deadline to receive the peer review edits so that you have time to consider them and send them on to the author for their review and final editing.

If you have any other questions, please be sure to reach out to me. I am always happy to help.

Sean

Sean and Scott,

Kellie and I talked today to discuss how we would split up the Publications Subcommittee responsibilities.  We decided to alternate article curation on a quarterly basis (I’ll handle the upcoming publication deadline of 10/31/17).  Two questions:


1)      Who is available and qualified to peer-review articles, how many people need to peer-review, and are we responsible for getting people to volunteer to peer-review articles?

2)      (For Scott) Were there any ActionLine article guidelines mentioned at last week’s meeting, other than those listed on the “Writer’s Guidelines” document available on the RPPTL website (attached)?

Thanks,

Subject: CLC - Publications Subcommittee

Brett and Kellie,

Congratulations!  After discussing the position with both of you, we have decided to appoint Brett Henson as the Chair of the Publications Subcommittee and Kellie Humphries as the Vice-Chair of the Publications Subcommittee.

As I mentioned on the phone call with each of you, this subcommittee truly opens you up rubbing elbows with influential construction lawyers; exposes you to good legal writing on construction law topics, and allows you to expand your construction practices.

As a person that has served in both the Chair and Vice-Chair capacities of the Publications Subcommittee,  I can honestly tell you that both positions are important.  The Vice-Chair will fill in when the Chair cannot be present at monthly meetings.  Additionally, the roles or tasks of the subcommittee can be divided up amongst both the Chair and Vice-Chair.  For example, the Chair may be tasked with obtaining good quality articles for publication, whereas the Vice-Chair may be tasked with obtaining Peer Reviewers to review, edit, or comment on an article for publication.  The division of labor is up to you.  I would urge you both to hold a telephone conference to introduce yourselves to one another in advance of next month’s meeting.

As for the position itself, you will be responsible for the following:

1.       Growing the Florida Bar’s knowledge of construction law related issues through the publication of timely, scholarly, and/or practical articles;

2.       Fielding any inquiries from potential authors concerning prospective article ideas;

3.       Providing feedback to potential authors on article content;

4.       Obtaining and managing peer reviewers for article submission;

5.       Timely responding to inquiries from the editors or ActionLine or the Florida Bar Journal for potential articles in those publications;

6.       Performing edits or providing your own comments on the articles submitted for publication; and

7.       As necessary, if there are no potential articles and either ActionLine or Florida Bar Journal are in a dire need of an article, then finding someone in your own Firm or perhaps even you writing an article is an option.

I have attached the publication guidelines for the Florida Bar Journal and ActionLine.  Please save them and review them prior to submitting an article for publication.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.

I look forward to seeing you develop in these roles. Best of Luck!
