Texas Center for Legal Ethics Launches Integrity Matters: Professionalism in Practice Lecture Series
The Texas Center for Legal Ethics is pleased to announce the launch of Integrity Matters: Professionalism in Practice, a new lecture series designed to inspire thoughtful discussion about ethics, professionalism, and integrity in the practice of law.
The inaugural Integrity Matters: Professionalism in Practice program features a panel of distinguished Texas appellate attorneys and former recipients of the Chief Justice Jack Pope Professionalism Award: Kevin Dubose, Mike Hatchell, and Charles “Skip” Watson. Drawing on decades of experience, they share insights on the Texas Lawyer’s Creed, the Texas Standards for Appellate Conduct, mentorship, and more.
“The Integrity Matters series is an exciting opportunity to shine a light on ethics, professionalism, and integrity,” said Brad Johnson, Executive Director of the Texas Center for Legal Ethics. “In this year’s installment, Kevin Dubose, Mike Hatchell, and Skip Watson take part in a conversation that is educational, engaging, and entertaining from start to finish.”
The Integrity Matters series is part of the Center’s ongoing mission to promote the highest standards of ethics and professionalism.
