AUSTIN, Texas, April 6, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Lawline, a leading provider of online legal education, is proud to endorse Cali Franks for the position of President-Elect of the Texas Young Lawyers Association (TYLA). As a Program Attorney at Lawline, Cali has exhibited a remarkable commitment to the legal profession by advocating for the improvement of legal education and promoting diversity and inclusion in the legal community.
Cali has served on the TYLA Board of Directors since 2019 and currently holds the position of treasurer. During her tenure, she has spearheaded several TYLA initiatives, including the Iconic Women in Legal History project and the Practice Areas 101 podcast. Her contributions to the legal community have earned her recognition, including the TYLA President's Award of Merit in 2021 and 2022.
In addition to her work with TYLA, Cali has also held leadership roles in other organizations, including her third term as an elected director for the Dallas Association of Young Lawyers and the managing director of programming for the American Bar Association Young Lawyers Division.
