| E-mails Reveal Wrangling in TYLA President-Elect Race | Top |
| On April 26, the Texas Young Lawyers Association told president-elect candidate David Courreges to cease all campaigning. The move came after his opponent, C.E. Rhodes, filed formal complaints with TYLA nominations chairwoman Cori Harbour, alleging that multiple people posted pro-Courreges messages on Facebook, an Austin publication ran a story on Courreges, and an Austin law firm endorsed him in a firm newsletter and on Facebook. | |
| Bill Would Ban State Bar From Taking Position, Expending Funds on Rule Changes | Top |
| "The state bar may not take a position or expend any funds in a manner that appears to advocate a position on a proposed rule or an amendment to a rule," under House Bill 2919, filed by Rep. Ron Reynolds, R-Missouri City. Bar President Terry Tottenham says he opposes the bill, because he thinks the elected members of the Bar's board of directors should be allowed to speak on behalf of their constituents. | |

| The Art of Persuasion: Three Factors to Consider | Top |
| Persuasion is a process that enables one to change or reinforce others' attitudes, opinions or behaviors, according to the book "The Essentials of Power, Influence and Persuasion." Those who seek to persuade primarily focus on four critical areas: credibility, common ground, supporting information and a deep understanding of emotion, write Lisa Blue Baron and Robert B. Hirschhorn. | |
| Diversity: Get in the Game | Top |
| When Kathleen J. Wu is not being a lawyer, she watches tennis. As vice chairwoman of the United States Tennis Association's national committee on diversity and inclusion, her job is to get more Asian-Americans to play tennis. While she tries to find ways to attract more minorities to the game, she sees a parallel question about how firms can attract more minorities of every kind. | |

| Commentary: Review of Orders Denying Arbitration | Top |
| It used to be that because of a quirk in Texas law, attorneys seeking review of orders denying arbitration frequently had to do double duty and file an interlocutory appeal and a mandamus petition, writes Allyson N. Ho. But much to the relief of lawyers and clients alike, that's no longer the case. In Texas, appeals are authorized only from final orders or judgments unless an interlocutory appeal expressly is permitted by statute. | |
