Remember the days when women lawyers in the courtroom were few and far between? Thank goodness those times are gone. What matters are results, and the outstanding Winning Women in these pages deliver.
So how did the Texas Lawyer editorial department arrive at the list of 20 Lone Star State litigators and appellate attorneys profiled in this special section? We began the five-month selection process by asking readers to nominate lawyers who have achieved significant recent victories as well as displayed a track record of wins in which they prevailed in high-stakes cases; won large monetary awards; successfully defended against actions seeking substantial damages; handled first-of-their-kind or bet-the-company cases; or claimed victory in cases that had a national or statewide impact. We read each of the nearly 200 nominations, then we conducted our own research to arrive at the list of 20 Winning Women. What we heard was incredible.
