Awards Committee

TCDLA's Awards Committee is entrusted to determining those individuals who deserve to be honored by TCDLA as to four specific awards: (1) the Hall of Fame; (2) the Percy Foreman Lawyer of the Year; (3) the Charles D. Butts Pro Bono Lawyer of the Year; (4) the Rodney Ellis Award; and (5) Rising Star Award. The Awards Committee is comprised of a cross-section of TCDLA members from each district and the Committee's decisions as to the recipients of the second through fourth awards identified above are final. However, the Committee can only recommend to the Executive Committee the potential inductees into the Hall of Fame. Upon submission to the Executive Committee, the Executive Committee submits the final recommended inductees to the entire Board of Directors for a vote.

The mission of TCDLA’s social media committee is to promote TCDLA’s cause through social media platforms. The Committee utilizes different social media channels to provide TCDLA members and non-members with greater access to current TCDLA news and events. Our efforts will keep the public and our members up to date on all things TCDLA.
