In his career of over 40 years, Jim has provided training to all of the Education Service Centers in Texas, numerous statewide organizations, and hundreds of school districts. He is the co-author of The Educator’s Guide to Texas School Law, which is used as a textbook in many higher education programs. He has also authored The Common Sense Guide to Special Education Law. He was the longtime author of the popular “Law Dawg” column in the Texas School Administrators’ Legal Digest and currently produces a daily digital blog, The Law Dawg’s Ed Daily. (www.edlawdawg.com). He has taught school law at Texas State, Baylor and St. Edwards Universities.

Haley Turner comes from three generations of public educators – teachers, counselors, nurses, coaches, and administrators – and grew up hearing about every aspect of the issues facing public schools. A third generation Baylor Bear, Haley’s roots have influenced her decision to dedicate her practice to public education.
Haley prides herself in providing practical, results driven counsel, and believes the most effective way to assist public schools is to help build relationships between Superintendents, Boards, and the communities they serve. To that end, Haley’s practice focuses on employment and student issues, governance and crisis management and preventative training.
Haley has worked hard to become a highly sought-after speaker at school law conferences and frequently provides training in all areas of school law. She particularly enjoys providing interactive professional development and team building experiences for districts all across the state.
