Texas Lawyer is proud to introduce the two honorees of this year’s Lifetime Achievement Award: Lee Yeakel and Dan Baucum. Q&As with the winners are below.

Former U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel, who joined King & Spalding as senior counsel in May, spent over 25 years on the bench. Not only has he witnessed first-hand the evolution of the law in Texas, but he has also played a pivotal role in shaping it, from abortion-related matters to police interrogation of minors.
