The State Bar of Texas meets annually to provide its 100,000-plus members with opportunities to earn Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credits, network with other professionals, and hear from renowned keynote speakers. The next State Bar of Texas Annual Meeting will be held June 19-20, 2025 at the JW Marriott Hill Country Resort in San Antonio, Texas.
The International Law Section (ILS) traditionally hosts two CLE programs on current international law topics during the first day (Thursday) which is then followed by the section membership meeting where we vote for and install new Council officers and members, present service awards and recognitions, and give our members an opportunity to network. Past CLE topics at the Texas Bar Annual Meeting have included human rights ethics, doing business in Canada, immigration and border security, CFIUS and the Ukraine-Russian War.
You only need to register if you want to receive your CLE credits; otherwise, attendance to all our events listed here are free.
