Those who are serving certainly work hard for their constitu- ents and our state, but even they will tell you they could use some help. For instance, this year the senate judiciary committee has no mem- bers who are licensed attorneys. That’s because there are no licensed attorneys serving in the senate. The lack of lawyers in the senate even forced the legislature to pass a new law, House Sub. for SB 50, which allows the senate president or the speaker of the house to appoint the revisor of statutes or the revisor’s designee to attend special advisory committee meetings should no licensed attorney be elected to their chamber. This phenomenon isn’t limited to states with small populations and hence small bars. Texas, the second largest state in the union—and the third largest bar in the country—is experiencing the same issue. I recently had the opportunity to hear President of the State Bar of Texas Frank Stevenson speak at a national conference. He spoke eloquently of the need for lawyers to re-enter the public sphere, to run for office. After his presentation, we chatted, and he graciously arranged for the KBA to reprint a president’s column he wrote for the Texas Bar Jour- nal—a piece that speaks to all attorneys, calling them back to public service.
