Kennon Wooten was honored by the State Bar of Texas for her exceptional contributions in 2017 to the Bar's continuing legal education efforts.

Ms. Wooten was one of seven volunteer lawyers receiving a Standing Ovation award from the staff of TexasBarCLE, the Bar's division for providing continuing legal education and one of the premier providers in the nation.

Hedy Bower, Director of TexasBarCLE, explained the significance of the award. "All of our volunteers deserve our gratitude for contributing to the continuing education of their peers. Nevertheless, some stand out each year for extraordinary dedication and commitment. The staff looks forward to singling out individuals that not only gave enormously to our efforts, but also were gracious, easy to work with, and — oftentimes — helped us out in a real pinch."

"Without volunteers," Bower continued, "CLE from the State Bar couldn't be nearly as high quality, as abundant, or as affordable. Attorney volunteers are the reason TexasBarCLE can claim the slogan, 'Education by the Bar, for the Bar.' "
