A Dean of the Texas Appellate Bar Celebrates 70 Years at Strasburger

Royal Brin’s first job as a lawyer was at the U.S. base in Guadalcanal during World War II. After the war ended, he started working at Strasburger & Price in Dallas. The firm had less than 10 lawyers. Last month, Brin celebrated his 70th year at Strasburger. He’s advanced from being a courthouse runner to defending insurance companies in personal injury and death cases to developing a specialty in appellate law. Today, he is considered by many as one of the deans of the state’s appellate bar. The 96-year-old Dallas native still shows up to work every day and regularly attends the appellate group’s meetings. But there is another craft that Brin has mastered and practiced longer than the law – magic.
