FLawTA will provide legal aid attorneys and pro bono volunteers with practical, skills-based training to prepare them for complex family court proceedings. Family law remains one of the greatest areas of need among legal aid clients, with demand for representation far exceeding the resources available through legal aid organizations and pro bono volunteers.
The academy aims to expand access to legal representation for low-income Texans by helping attorneys develop the skills and confidence needed to handle contested family law cases. With support from the Texas Bar Foundation, FLawTA will help equip more attorneys to serve individuals and families facing complex legal challenges.
The program is planned for October 2027. Additional information about registration and participation will be announced as it becomes available.
Since its inception in 1965, the Texas Bar Foundation has awarded more than $32 million in grants to law-related programs. Supported by members of the State Bar of Texas, the Texas Bar Foundation is the nation’s largest charitably funded bar foundation.
