Depression and su***de are real issues facing lawyers today. We have lost too many people recently to mental health issues. The state bar and TLAP have put together a great CLE on What Lawyers Need to Know About Depression and Su***de and it is available for the next year for free at TexasBarCle.

Yesterday, we had a very difficult decision to make in Austin beween six very qualified candidates for the president-elect position. We voted to recommend the nomination of Jeanne Cezanne “Cezy” Collins of El Paso and Larry P. McDougal Sr. of Richmond as candidates for 2019-2020 State Bar of Texas president-elect. The subcommittee will bring our recommendation to the Board at the September meeting in Austin.
