"It is my honor and pleasure to serve as the 2024 President of The J.L. Turner Legal Association. Our esteemed organization was founded in 1952, formerly known as "The Barrister's Club", and has reached over 70 years in existence.

Our Founders' mission to improve the quality of life for our community, resonates today as we live in the times of attacks on diversity, equity and inclusion, attacks on affirmative action, and attacks on the livelihood of minority citizens. As a member of JLTLA, you are a part of history, and we encourage you to get involved as a mentor, committee chair, or future board member.

We are an affiliate chapter of both the Dallas Bar Association and the National Bar Association. Our members are leaders in both larger organizations and are trailblazers in our legal community. We urge you to also join those organizations as we partner with them on a Regional and National level to answer the call to service."

President, Trerod Hall
