East Texas ABOTA member, Bill Cornelius, wrote a poem for their recent East Texas Spring Banquet and induction of new members.
ABOTA Poem
We consider this right to be precious and dear
For without it our freedom could well disappear
Our Founding Fathers knew this to be true
And provided a shield against tyranny for me and for you
Ordinary citizens, each one unique
Swear on an oath a just verdict to seek
We try civil cases on both sides of the “V”
Striving to do so with integrity
Protecting the right to a trial by our peers
Has been our mission for 59 years
From different backgrounds and political views
We join to preserve what still we could lose
So let us be vigilant, lest we forget
This right that we cherish remains under threat
