Entertaining trial war stories and precious gems of legal-practice wisdom flowed from three “Texas legal legends” at a panel Thursday at the State Bar of Texas Annual Meeting in Austin.

The panel aimed to pass on tips from longtime, distinguished lawyers to young attorneys just starting out in the profession. Moderators Joel Towner of Beck Redden in Houston and Sally Pretorius, president of the Texas Young Lawyers Association, questioned Jim Harrington, Broadus Spivey and Royal Furgeson about lessons and mistakes during their legal careers.
