You may never be lucky enough to try a case with one of these legendary trial lawyers, but you will want to hear them tell you how it is done. Four Texas Legal Legends – George Chandler, Hon. Royal Furgeson, Jr., Hon. Ruby Sondock, and Broadus Spivey – will give trial tips, share secrets to their successes, and explain the importance of giving back to the profession and the community.
