Many lawyers are active in the Bar because they want to make a difference and further the purpose and values of the legal profession. Each Bar is unique but share a common mission. The mission of the State Bar of Texas is to support the administration of the legal system, assure all citizens equal access to justice, foster high standards of ethical conduct for lawyers, support and provide services to its members, enable its members to better serve their clients and the public, and educate the public about the rule of law. Members of the bar commit time, energy and resources towards achieving this goal. The following 10 ideas are meant to assist Bar leaders in their service to the Bar and its members: Hopefully each Bar leader will find at least some of these ideas useful. I am sure that some of the Bar leaders reading this blog are “inspirational” leaders and could provide other worthwhile ideas.   I practiced law for 37 years developing a national construction law practice representing some of the top highway and transportation construction contractors in the US.
