Welcome to the William "Mac" Taylor Inn of Court's page on the World Wide Web.  Officially chartered in May 1990, we are one of five chapters of The American Inns of Court in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and one of hundreds of such chapters around the world.  We are dedicated to fostering and promoting the American bar's tradition of ethical and competent representation in an environment of civility and respect.  You can learn more about the American Inns of Court movement by visiting the national organization's Web page.   

We prize our significant relationship with a law school -- Southern Methodist University's Dedman School of Law -- and in having third-year law students as members of our chapter.  This relationship provides the law students with an unrivaled opportunity to learn about the legal profession from practitioners and judges.  It is also an expression of our chapter's commitment to mentoring as a fundamental obligation of the practicing bar. 

In the coming months, we will be adding to this page, including information about our programs for upcoming meetings and news from the national Inn of Court office.  Meanwhile, we hope to enhance the effectiveness of our mentoring activities by posting notices of professional events and activities that might be of interest particularly to law students and to younger members of the "Mac" Taylor Inn of Court.  Please visit our "Mentor Program" page to see what has been posted.  If you are in a mentoring relationship, call your mentor (or "mentee") and invite that person to attend with you. 

Feel free to contact any of our officers or committee chairs with comments about or suggestions for this page or our chapter of the American Inns of Court:
