San Diego, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/23/2014 -- According to ‘Black’s Law Dictionary’, the most widely used law dictionary in the United States of America, a lawyer is ‘a person learned in the law; a person practising law.’ The word learned, in this case has much deeper connotations than just a surface level knowing of legal practises and laws. It denotes a comprehensive understanding of every aspect of the legal procedure in the chosen areas of law. By this count, San Diego attorney Shana J. Black is a lawyer in every sense.

When one calls an attorney to represent one’s case in court, it is usually a matter than can make or break a life. Whether it be a marriage, a business or personal rights, unless the attorney is truly qualified, the case is lost.

Shana J. Black was a merit scholarship recipient at the University Of San Diego School Of Law from 1997 to 2000, where she did her Juris Doctorate. She was then admitted to the California bar in 2000. Prior to this, she earned a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, after which she taught macroeconomics, microeconomics, and econometrics as a graduate assistant and adjunct faculty member.

But academic qualifications have their own limitations and may not necessarily be the final say in deciding on a lawyer’s capabilities. Field work matters too. And Shana J. Black understands this.
Which is why, owing to her dedicated service, she is a recipient of numerous awards for her legal and community work, including the Wiley W. Manuel Award for Pro Bono Legal Services, CALI Award for High Achievement in Trusts and Estates and International Civil Litigation, and recognition by the San Diego Volunteer Lawyer Program.

In addition to such accolades and awards, she has also garnered the respect of her peers and the community by contributing her time and expertise as a member of many law based organisations that include:

Federalist Society, San Diego Chapter (Board of Directors)
San Diego Republican Business Women’s Association (Board of Directors)
Mother Attorneys Mentoring Association (Board of Directors, Past President, Co-Founder)
Soli Deo Gloria (Board of Directors)
Lawyers for the Arts
Lawyers Club
San Diego Bar Association
State Bar California

Academic qualifications, accolades in field work, respect in the community for service and ongoing participation; these are the cornerstones of an attorney who not only possesses the strength to fight legal opponents, but also a deep sense of empathy towards the members of her community.
