Wow. What an inspiring evening at the Dallas Bar Foundation’s dinner with Harvard history professor and Pulitzer Prize-winning author, Annette Gordon-Reed. Talmage Boston was masterful in asking Professor Gordon-Reed thought-provoking questions about her life growing up in Texas and her incredible scholarship as a historian and writer. One of my favorite moments was seeing our Sarah T. Hughes scholars LaDyrian Cole, Darren Chen, Hernan Valles, Sonia Gonzalez and Jennifer Montiel interact with Prof. Gordon Reed. Thank you Sonia Gonzalez for sharing your beautiful testimony about how the Sarah T. Hughes scholarship has impacted your life.

Last night, I had the pleasure of attending, “An Evening with Annette Gordon-Reed” hosted by the DALLAS BAR FOUNDATION, benefitting the Sarah T. Hughes Diversity Scholarship. As a graduating Hughes Scholar, this was my last event as a law student. Next year, I’ll hopefully attend the event as an attorney. As always, I am appreciative to everyone who attended the event and who served as sponsors. The funds raised go towards the legal educations of so many deserving diverse law students. One being, my classmate Sonia Gonzalez, who spoke so eloquently last night about how the scholarship has impacted her path. I am proud to be a Hughes Scholar, and I’m grateful for those who came before me and the scholars to come. Thank you, Ms. Annette Gordon-Reed for an enlightening conversation, and for providing advice for the next generation of legal minds. #lawschool #dallaslegal #scholarship

Be sure to read this article about the Foundation's 2023 Fellows Justinian Award recipient Frank Stevenson.
"The world breaks neatly into two groups – the ones for whom words matter and the ones for whom they don’t. There are no great lawyers in the second group." -- Frank Stevenson II Frank Stevenson is a great lawyer. I recently had the opportunity to interview Frank for the Texas LawBook, on the heels of his prestigious 2023 Fellows Justinian Award--the Dallas Bar Foundation's highest honor symbolizing excellence in legal practice. One of the key themes that emerged from our conversation was the importance of balancing professional responsibilities with a commitment to service. Frank emphasized the significance of genuine personal connections in his career--offering that when it really comes down to it, "one or two authentic friends are both essential and sufficient." He said, "[w]e all need someone with whom we can be completely unvarnished, unaffected, and unguarded." Who is in your court? And have you checked in with them lately? I encourage you to read the full interview published today: https://lnkd.in/gFrMNxDX.
