Announcing the Inaugural Class of the Texas Appellate Law Hall of Fame!
The State Bar of Texas Appellate Section and the Texas Supreme Court Historical Society proudly announce the inaugural class of the Texas Appellate Hall of Fame for 2011:

- Mr. Russell Hugh "Rusty" McMains
- Hon. Robert W. Calvert

The Texas Appellate Hall of Fame is a joint project of the State Bar of Texas Appellate Section and the Texas Supreme Court Historical Society. The Hall was created to acknowledge those lawyers, judges and court personnel who demonstrated a career-long commitment to excellence in appellate law in Texas.
Nominations for the Hall were publicly solicited from the membership of the Appellate Section. The twelve member Board of Trustees of the Texas Appellate Hall of Fame carefully evaluated each nominee. The Board, as a whole, determined that the two attorneys and two judges who make up the Hall's inaugural Class of 2011 were truly deserving of special recognition. It is our hope that the efforts, results, intellect, and sacrifice that these distinguished lawyers and judges demonstrated in the field of appellate law will be memorialized for generations to come. The Hall looks forward to honoring other deserving appellate lawyers, judges, and court personnel in future years.
