Texas Lawbook Trial Verdict Submission Portal

The Texas Lawbook is launching the new and exclusive Texas Lawbook Civil Trial Symposium along with a new and improved Lawbook Commercial Litigation homepage. The Lawbook is beefing up our coverage of civil litigation with a team of legal journalists that include Michelle Casady in Houston, Alexa Shrake and Allen Pusey in Dallas. And I will be contributing to our litigation coverage with in-depth stories, trends and profiles. In addition, The Lawbook has a dedicated editor who is a lawyer working with our litigation team.

A critical component to the new Texas Lawbook Civil Trial Symposium and The Lawbook's coverage of litigation is our new Trials Verdict database, which seeks to track civil trial verdicts — be they civil jury trials, bench trials or arbitration trials — involving Texas trial lawyers, Texas businesses and Texas courts. For Texas trial lawyers, this includes civil trials that they lead in jurisdictions outside of Texas. We want to know the trial verdicts of trial attorneys from Amarillo, Lubbock and Texarkana, even if those trials were conducted in Pascagoula, Mississippi, or Gnaw Bone, Indiana.

The Trials Verdicts database is similar to The Lawbook's successful Corporate Deal Tracker Database. It seeks the basic information about the civil trials, including the date of the verdict, names of plaintiffs and defendants, names of the law firms and lawyers for both sides, the causes of action and the dollar amounts awarded.

This database will allow plaintiffs and defendants — be they business executives or individuals who have suffered damages — to identify the lawyers who have scored the biggest wins in civil disputes.

Please do not hesitate to email or call me if you have any questions.
