President and CEO of the SPCA of Texas

“Law firms and corporate law departments are doing great work to promote diversity, pro bono projects, and public service. But many times, that great work is not being recognized. It is important that these efforts are highlighted to show that the legal profession is working to improve society, serve the public, and make our communities a better place.

I think that law firms and corporate law departments will learn from each other and develop best practices so that their work in these areas will improve and continue to grow. And they will get the recognition that they deserve for representing our legal profession in this noble work. I believe that the legal profession has an obligation to use our training and skills to advance justice, fairness, and equity as it is the right thing to do. But that obligation also provides an opportunity. So first, we need to keep on doing what we are doing. Please consider donating to the Texas Lawbook Foundation so that we can continue to spread the word of our legal profession’s good deeds and acts.”
