South Texas College of Law must seek additional financial support from the community it serves. The business and legal communities in Houston, across Texas and in many other parts of the United States depend on the quality of our graduates. They have that right. They deserve the best we have to offer. And South Texas College of Law, if it is to prepare its graduates to meet the challenges of the next century, deserves the support it seeks.
Talk is widespread today that there are too many lawyers.
The truth is, there are not enough exceptional lawyers. We need lawyers who care about justice, efficiency and professionalism. We need lawyers willing to take the moral high ground and lawyers who understand how their actions can help preserve the foundations of our society. As our world becomes smaller and our lives more complex, the need for the exceptional, thoroughly prepared lawyer that our school produces has never been greater. Support for South Texas College of Law is an investment in Houston and its future, as well as an investment in the future of the law school.
