SUPPORT THE SOCIETY


JOHN HEMPHILL DINNER

On Friday, September 8, 2023, the Society will hold its 28th Annual Hemphill Dinner live at the Four Seasons Hotel in Austin, Texas. The John Hemphill Dinner is an important event for the Texas Supreme Court Historical Society and one that members look forward to as the highlight of the year.


This year’s John Hemphill Dinner will be presided over by the Honorable Ken Wise, 2022-23 President of the Texas Supreme Court Historical Society. The program will include the annual Chief Justice Jack Pope Professionalism Award presented by the Texas Center for Legal Ethics. This award recognizes a Texas appellate lawyer or judge who demonstrates the highest level of professionalism and integrity.


The keynote speaker this year is Jason Taylor, Chief of the Texas Rangers. The Texas Rangers, America’s oldest state law enforcement agency, are celebrating their landmark 200th anniversary. Justice Ken Wise will join Chief Taylor in a conversation that will surely be engaging and informative.


As in year’s past we expect this event to sell out soon so please act quickly.
