For Felecia Epps, UNT Dallas Law School Dean, Dotting ‘I’s’ and Crossing ‘T’s’ was Key

When she got the news Friday that UNTD Law School had received full ABA accreditation, Dean Felecia Epps wasn't surprised. Elated, yes, but not surprised. It was a long road, as she described it Saturday, paved in day-to-day details. Next comes some sort of party. Maybe more than one. The Texas Lawbook has an exclusive interview.

  • Brad Nitschke Connects Compassion to Counsel at Parkland Health - Brad Nitschke’s passion for public service started in his teens at Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas.

    “Justice and service have always been important to me, and my time at Jesuit left me deeply convinced that there are real problems hurting real people in the world, and we are called to use our gifts and talents to intervene where we can,” said Nitschke, who officially married his values and passion with his career mission five years ago when he joined the legal team at Parkland Health. Last month, Parkland named Nitschke its interim executive vice president for legal affairs due to his extraordinary successes. And ACC-DFW and The Texas Lawbook are awarding him the 2025 DFW GC of the Year Award for a Non-Profit/Governmental Agency to celebrate his achievements.

  • PepsiCo Foods GC Adrienne Mosley’s ‘Remarkable Journey’ - PepsiCo Foods Deputy General Counsel Adrienne Mosley entered 2025 with a dizzying number of projects on her agenda.

    Mosley started the year by leading the company’s $1.2 billion acquisition of the Mexican-American foods company Siete Foods. She guided the legal components of the rebranding and reformation of PepsiCo’s Lay’s and Tostitos brands. She played a leading role in the transformation of the company's North America legal department in the wake of the company combining its North America food and beverage operations. And she supported the overhaul of the law department’s adoption of digital technologies and process optimization. In March, corporate executives promoted Mosley to general counsel of PepsiCo Foods. 

    “Adrienne stepped into the GC role amid a perfect storm — a major restructure of both the law department and the business, a new executive team and a challenging business environment,” said Phillips Murrah director Leanne Oliver, who is the former PepsiCo Foods GC. “Adrienne provided the calm during the storm.”
