TYLA - the “public service arm” of the State Bar - is comprised of all TX attorneys licensed twelve years or less.
关于我们
The Texas Young Lawyers Association, organized in 1930, is a department of the State Bar of Texas. All members of the State Bar of Texas, irrespective of age, licensed twelve years or less at the beginning of each fiscal year (beginning June 1) are automatically members of TYLA. TYLA’s funding comes directly from the State Bar and grants from various not-for-profit entities, so there are no additional dues to pay to be a member. TYLA is commonly referred to as the “public service arm” of the State Bar of Texas. TYLA’s primary purposes are to facilitate the administration of justice, foster respect for the law, and advance the role of the legal profession in serving the public. TYLA’s programs often offer information to members of the general public about a legal topic; other projects are designed to assist Texas lawyers in developing and maintaining their legal practices. Still others are directed toward underserved members of our community, including the homeless, the elderly, and members of our military. All of TYLA’s programs are accomplished through the volunteer efforts of our board and committee members, with the cooperation of our local affiliate young lawyers associations. Click here for a list of TYLA Affiliates. Volunteering alongside current TYLA members is easy, as many TYLA initiatives are organized online or by teleconference. Each year, the TYLA publishes an annual report, designed to inform the public and the bar about the work performed by TYLA volunteers in the preceding year.

??This year, The National Trial Competition (NTC) celebrates 50 years! NTC was established in 1975 to encourage and strengthen students’ advocacy skills through quality competition and valuable interaction with members of the bench and bar. The program, administered by TYLA and co-sponsored by the American College of Trial Lawyers (ACTL), is designed to expose law students to the nature of trial practice and to serve as a supplement to their education. The competition attracts teams from more than 150 law schools and involves more than 1,000 law students each year. ??This event is only made possible by the generosity of its sponsors. ??Thank you, Beck Redden LLP for celebrating 50 years of excellence in trial advocacy by proudly supporting The National Trial Competition as a Supreme Level sponsor, fostering the next generation of trial lawyers!

??????TYLA is honored to announce that we’ve received a generous $45,000 grant from the Texas Bar Foundation to create an exciting new resource for prospective law students! ??????This spring, TYLA will launch a comprehensive website designed to guide nontraditional and first-time law students through every stage of the law school journey. From applying to law schools, preparing for admissions tests like the LSAT, and managing costs, to navigating the challenges of the first semester, bar exam prep, and exploring legal careers—this resource will provide practical advice from experts across Texas. ??We’re proud to collaborate with Culture Farm to build this user-friendly platform and thrilled to add it to TYLA’s growing collection of educational tools for Texans and future legal professionals. ??????This project wouldn’t be possible without the support of the Texas Bar Foundation. Their dedication to funding law-related programs since 1965 has made a lasting impact, and we are grateful for their partnership as we work to break down barriers for aspiring lawyers. ??Stay tuned for updates and visit https://lnkd.in/gs5cXJRv to explore TYLA’s other digital resources. Together, we’re empowering the next generation of legal minds! #TYLA #TexasBarFoundation #LegalEducation #LawStudents #AccessToJustice
