Acker recognized by State Bar
PECOS, February 22, 2001 - The College of the State Bar of Texas recognized
3,900 attorneys as members of the College during its Annual Awards Luncheon
in Austin on Feb. 3. This distinguished group of attorneys account for
less than eight percent of the total number of attorneys in Texas.
Attorneys for this area which were recognized as new or maintaining
members of the State Bar College include Kevin D. Acker of Monahans.
The College was created in 1982 by the Supreme Court of Texas as a
means of recognizing members of the State Bar who voluntarily attain an
extraordinary number of continuing legal education credits each year. To
qualify for membership, attorneys must complete 80 hours of continuing
legal education (CLE) within a three-year period or 45 hours during the
current year. To maintain membership in the College, an attorney must complete
at least 30 hours of CLE each year, twice the number of hours required
of all lawyers in Texas.
Awards were given to several College members, including an award for
the best article written for a continuing legal education seminar. Andrew
S. Hanen, Houston, received the State Bar College Professionalism Award
for outstanding contributions in the area of professionalism with the legal
profession. James E. Brill, Houston, received the CLE Article award for
his article entitled, "Dealing With the Death of a Solo Practitioner" from
the State Bar of Texas, Advanced Estate Planning and Probate Course.
Bobby D. Dyess, Dallas, Chair of the State Bar College Board of Directors,
and Robert D. Miller, Big Spring, Annual CLE Seminar and Luncheon Committee
Chair, presided over the ceremony. State Bar College Board members Jay
B. Goss, Bryan and Judy Ney, Houston, presented the awards.
