Barbara Lucero, a paralegal at Modrall Sperling, has been elected to become the next Chair of the Paralegal Division of the New Mexico State Bar. She is slated to assume her new role in January 2017 during the Division’s first board meeting of the year.

She has been a member of the Division for 15 years and on the Board the last four. Lucero earned her B.A. in Communications in 2011, after having earned an A.A.S. in Legal Assistant (1999) and Tribal Court Advocacy (1999), all from University of New Mexico. In addition, she earned an A.A. in Business from the Navajo Community College (now Diné College, 1996).
