Welcome to the Litigation Section of the State Bar of Texas
The Litigation Section provides an amazing array of member services. Your Litigation Council works hard to keep these services current and meaningful and to be a good steward of the Section's monies. The Council consists of fifteen council members and six officers. In the nine years I have served on the Council, I have developed an enormous respect for the dedication and hard work of these attorneys who work diligently to implement the section's many initiatives and programs. The section organizes mentoring and ethics events for students at each Texas law school, co-sponsors many litigation CLEs with the State Bar including the Litigation Update Course and the State Bar Annual Meeting, produces The Advocate and News for the Bar publications, memorializes Texas Legal Legends, coordinates legislative initiatives, and provides grants, scholarships and internships for legal aid and pro bono programs in Texas. If you would like to participate in the work of the section or if you have thoughts about how to improve or add to our efforts, please drop me a note at lmcdonald@langleybanack.com. — Linda McDonald
The Advocate
The Advocate is a quarterly journal published by the Litigation Section. Three issues are published in symposium format and the Spring issue is the electronic version of the articles from the Litigation Update course. The last three issues were dedicated to The Best of Litigation Update, The Texas Disciplinary Rules, and Commercial Law Developments and Doctrine.
