State Bar of Texas Blog

Professor Richard Beeman, author of Plain, Honest Men: The Making of the American Constitution, spoke on his book before a packed audience Thursday afternoon at the State Bar Annual Meeting that included several current and former State Bar leaders, such as 2007-08 President Gib Walton, as well as Chief Justice Wallace Jefferson and Justice Harriet O'Neill. After a lively Q&A session, Beeman signed copies of his book, which was very well received, judging by the long line.
