Law & Civics

The mission of the Law & Civics Committee is to study and assess issues related to the improvement of public education about the critical role of the judiciary and other civics topics, in addition to the bar’s relationship with the Tarrant County judiciary; make recommendations to address those issues; and help the TCBA, its members, committees, sections, and affiliated bars, implement those recommendations.
