Members of the Chancery Club scan law books to answer a question under discussion during one of their regular meetings in the government building library.

Chancery Club Members View Court Activities

A trip to Austin to see the legislature in action and trips to Dallas to view court activities are trips annually sponsored by the Chancery Club.

The organization sponsored these trips during the 1960-61 year to prepare students who are planning to enter law school and to satisfy those wanting a broader knowledge of our governmental system.

Throughout the year prominent attorneys spoke to the group in order to acquaint pre-law majors with the practical applications of law. Ed Yates of Dallas spoke to the group in the fall. Other attorneys who addressed the organization were James L. Truitt, a recent honor graduate of the University of Texas Law School, and Johnny Lawhon, Denton County Attorney.

With Dr. J. L. Dawson as sponsor and Charles Lawhon as president, the Chancery Club had 30 members this year.
