Law Day for the Montgomery County Bar Association

Another Law Day has come and gone. Under Alan’s leadership, the event has become a true bench-and-bar conference. Only the flooding kept a few judges away. But for the most part, the county bar’s judicial panelists came out to talk for a packed house.

Let’s see what happens next year.

How The Courthouse Came To Conroe - Montgomery County, Texas

The Montgomery County Courthouse wasn’t always in Conroe. Back when Texas first became a Republic, the City of Montgomery hosted our courthouse. So why’s the courthouse in Conroe today?

Alan Bush, as President of the Montgomery County Bar, recently hosted a webinar with Larry Foerster to tell the story. The story has got some juicy bits:

  • Two general elections;

  • A divided Commissioners Court where two factions held meetings in two different towns;

  • A fight in the Texas Supreme Court; and

  • Landowners in the original county seat getting railroaded.

Larry is our de facto Montgomery County historian. He chairs the Montgomery County Historical Commission.

Here’s the webinar for your viewing pleasure!

Alan Bush Rides Again – Writing for Texas Lawyer on Mediation

Back in the day, Alan Bush wrote for Texas Lawyer routinely. He’s now back in the saddle again.

Texas Lawyer has inked another agreement with Alan. Every few months, expect another article. Alan relates what he’s learned in life and law into actionable steps for lawyers. This time, he’ll cover mediation, legal ethics and negotiations.

Here is one of Alan’s favorite articles – “Work Boots, Not Wing Tips.” Alan wrote it after spending a day out on an oil rig. He took these lessons back to his legal practice:

  • Get out on the rig floor.

  • Get your hands dirty.

  • Feed a hungry client.

  • Understand who is the rock star.

  • Do it yourself.

  • Cover the home front.
