New Texas Tech law grad recalls journey to Lubbock's McCleskey law firm

When people asked Bridget Pembroke what she wanted to be when she grew up, she said lawyer – because that’s what her father did. “As a kid, I didn’t know what a lawyer actually did and I slowly shifted away,” she said of growing up in Chicago. On Oct. 15, she came full circle back to that childhood answer. Pembroke stood before seven judges in the Donald Hunt Courtroom at the Texas Tech University School of Law and was sworn into the Texas Bar – officially becoming a lawyer and keeping a McCleskey Law Firm tradition intact. Her official McCleskey start date was Aug. 31, pending her bar exam results. Every attorney in the firm’s history who was hired pending results has passed.

Lubbock ISD names longtime educator to fill vacant District 5 seat

The Lubbock Independent School District Board of Trustees voted unanimously during a special-called meeting Monday to name longtime educator Christina Skeen to fill the board's vacant District 5 seat. Skeen is an education and learning expert with experience spanning more than two decades, the majority of which she spent at Lubbock ISD, according to a news release from the district. Skeen said she is ready to serve the district that has helped shape her life as an educator, leader and parent. Skeen will begin her service on the board immediately and will serve the remainder of the District 5 term, which expires in May 2028, after John Weddige resigned from the seat on Sept. 30. “My career has allowed me to understand public education from the classroom, campus, district and national levels,” Skeen said. “I believe every student deserves strong educational opportunities, regardless of the campus they attend or the circumstances they bring to school. As both an educator and the parent of students who receive support through Section 504, I understand the importance of providing students with the resources and accommodations they need to succeed.” Skeen first served as a third-grade teacher at Wheelock Elementary School and then as
