(March 3) – The Lanier Law Firm announced yesterday that Mark Lanier was honored on Feb. 26 as one of three recipients of Texas Tech University’s 2016 Distinguished Alumni Awards.
Laura Nieto, senior manager of community affairs at Southwest Airlines, and playwright Jaston Williams also received recognition.
Lanier earned his law degree from Texas Tech in 1984 and currently serves on the law school’s Foundation board of directors. The Houston trial lawyer received the law school’s Distinguished Alumnus Award in 2005.
“It’s always a great pleasure to return to Lubbock and catch up with friends and colleagues,” Lanier said in a statement. “The education and perspectives I received as a Tech student served as a solid foundation in beginning and sustaining my legal career.”
