Over his 62-year career, Jim Sales tried more than 100 cases to verdict and developed the contours of product liability law in Texas and the nation. But the former Marine’s most enduring legacy was one of service, as a mentor and champion of access to justice and pro bono.
Former Texas Supreme Court Chief Justice Wallace B. Jefferson once said of Sales: “You epitomize everything that is noble about our profession.”
Sales died this month at the age of 89.
