What is the "College of the State Bar?"

The State Bar College of Texas is the only organization in the United States formed for the purpose of promoting and recognizing attorneys who pursue excellence through voluntary attendance of continuing legal education programs.

The Texas Supreme Court established the State Bar College in 1981. The current Court's order describes the purposes of the College as follows:

1. To recognize and encourage lawyers who maintain and enhance their professional skills and the quality of their  service to the public by significant voluntary participation in legal education;

2. To promote among members of the State Bar and the general public the educational and public purposes of the College and its members;

3. To recognize and encourage outstanding service to the legal profession and the public; and

4.  To sponsor or otherwise assist in educational activities of significant merit and widespread relevance and applicability to the legal profession.
