Platform
I will work to:
- Expand the current Career Center and encourage firms, corporations and governmental entities to use it in their hiring procedures, and provide free professional coaching and volunteer mentors to assist lawyers making transitions
- Pursue efforts to improve health insurance options, and investigate any new opportunities that may arise from current legislative efforts
- Provide excellent and relevant continuing legal education at the lowest cost possible, promote diversity, and help lawyers struggling with depression, addiction or mental illness
- Preserve important historic legal documents which are often scattered and ignored
- Partner with the Texas Young Lawyer’s Association wherever possible. Innovative TYLA projects serve young lawyers, help improve the public perception of our profession, and assist Texans who need help most
- Oppose mandatory disclosure of professional liability insurance. I support the Board’s 39-1 vote against mandatory disclosure.
