| Celebrating the rule of law, American legal system |
TBA President Bill Haltom has launched an initiative to celebrate the rule of law and the American legal system. The Stand Up and Deliver program features both an educational campaign — lawyers across the state are speaking to civic groups, school classes and others on the topic — and a volunteer effort, in which lawyers are stepping forward to take on pro bono work across the state.
In encouraging lawyers to join in the statewide-grassroots campaign, Haltom hopes to remind citizens that what makes America great is not wealth, military might or national resources, but the rule of law.
“We are a nation of laws,” Haltom says. “All men and women are considered equal under the law, and disputes are resolved by the impartial application of the law by judge and juries.”
