Features

  • My Five Favorite Books (Veterans Day Edition): Brett Govett, Norton Rose Fulbright - These books captured my attention and taught me valuable lessons on sacrifice and leadership. All of them have connections to Texas in some way and I have found them applicable in the practice of law. They also help to maintain perspective when – one thinks – it was a tough day. As Admiral William H. McRaven and the SEALs say – “The Only Easy Day Was Yesterday.” I hope you enjoy these, and please remember and thank our Veterans at all times – not only on Veterans Day. November 11, 2025Brett Govett
  • My Five Favorite Books (Veterans Day Edition): Chris Dodrill, Greenberg Traurig - The bulk of what I read is history, so listing my top books with a connection to Veterans Day is difficult. There are so many good ones out there. But here are five books that stand out to me. November 11, 2025Chris Dodrill
