Lectures from Texas.
Having attended law school in Oklahoma and thus been exposed to the Texas Bar, I have to hand it to the Texas Young Lawyers Association. They offer several tools for the practitioner but the crowning jewel is the “Ten Minute Mentor” series. One has to watch the state-specific law aspects of any presentation, but these lectures are wonderful and incredibly useful. The speakers almost always come off as (1) knowledgeable, (2) professional, and (3) passionate about what they do as evidenced by the detail and concision with which they present their material. I recommend that any and all practitioners check the site out.
I participated in TYLA’s trial competition while in law school, which is cosponsored with the American College of Trial Lawyers. I was coached by an outstanding and accomplished attorney who taught me volumes about trial lawyering. I think TYLA has a good thing going and hope they continue to produce valuable tools for the profession.
