  • ‘Crucify Him! Crucify Him!’ The Story of the Mob and the Minister - Dr. Howard Jones stepped to the pulpit of his church 115 years ago six days after a riotous mob had terrorized his city. A judge, prosecutor and sheriff who facilitated the murderous herd were among his congregation. In one of the greatest sermons ever preached, he denounced lawlessness and cowardice. The result: Dr. Jones was fired as pastor. The mob burned down his home. He and his family fled for their lives. But his sermon is as true today and it was in 1906: "Whatsoever a man - or a community soweth - that shall they also reap." January 24, 2021Mark Curriden

Overall, M&A work declined for 27 of the top 50 firms and increased for only 19. The Texas Lawbook has the details. January 19, 2021Mark Curriden
