Legal Malpractice & Ethics The St. Mary’s Journal on Legal Malpractice and Ethics For more than a decade, the St. Mary’s Law Journal has recruited the highest quality professors, attorneys, and judges to contribute to an annual live symposium, and accompanying print edition, dedicated to this area of the law. Throughout this experience, our editors and readers have witnessed an increasing need for legal scholarship in each of these areas. Malpractice claims are on the rise, technology creates novel ethical issues, and the public continues to question the integrity of the legal community. Now, more than ever, the fields of legal malpractice and professional responsibility deserve a scholastic niche set aside solely for the purpose of legal analysis and comment on these topics. Therefore, as an extension of our dedication to this area of the law, the St. Mary’s Law Journal launched the St. Mary’s Journal on Legal Malpractice and Ethics in 2011. In the two issues it releases each year, this journal focuses solely on legal malpractice and ethics issues and is the only law review in the nation to spotlight legal malpractice issues. In addition to the flagship journal’s publication of various articles that received the Texas Bar Foundation Outstanding Law Review Article Award, the 2022 award recipient of the Outstanding Law Review Article Award was Michael J. Ritter for his article, Resolving the Anders Dilemmas: How & Why Texas Should Abandon the Anders Procedure, which was published in Volume 12 of the St. Mary’s Journal on Legal Malpractice and Ethics.
