Welcome to the Litigation Section of the State Bar of Texas
You're at the website of the largest section of the State Bar of Texas, with over 7,400 members whose practices in some way touch upon all types of trial work. The breadth of our members' litigation interests is reflected by an approach that strives to provide something for everyone: quality CLE; two great quarterly publications; special projects to promote what's best about our judicial system; and a variety of ways to give back to our communities and to the profession – including pro bono opportunities, grants to foster worthy law-related projects, internships to law students, and other programs that are all at the service of one overall goal. That goal is to make Texas lawyers exemplars of excellence and integrity. I'm honored to chair the Litigation Section for 2010-11 and hope you'll feel free to drop me a note at wcf@fsclaw.com with thoughts about how to improve or add to our efforts. Thanks for visiting our site. — Walker C. Friedman
