⭐️The Texas Supreme Court has proclaimed today, April 22, 2026, as the Day of Civility in the Law. The Court reminds all Texas lawyers to conduct themselves with the utmost courtesy, professionalism, and civility toward their clients, judges, opposing counsel, and colleagues alike through their recommitment to the principles and aspirations found in the Texas Lawyer's Oath and the Texas Lawyer's Creed.
⭐️Texas Lawyer's Oath: "I do solemnly swear that I will support the Constitutions of the United States, and of this state; that I will honestly demean myself in the practice of law; that I will discharge my duties to my clients to the best of my ability; and that I will conduct myself with integrity and civility in dealing and communicating with the court and all parties. So help me God."
⭐️Texas Lawyer's Creed: "The conduct of a lawyer should be characterized at all times by honesty, candor, and fairness. In fulfilling his or her primary duty to a client, a lawyer must be ever mindful of the profession's broader duty to the legal system."
