The Section strives to provide its Members and Associate Members with quality continuing legal education (CLE) and a forum to network with construction industry legal professionals at our CLE events.  The Section is devoted to helping our Members and Associate Members stay abreast of the latest legal developments affecting the construction industry.

The Section holds its two-day Annual Conference each spring, featuring the hottest topics and leading construction law professionals..  The Section's Basic Course in Texas Construction Law is held in the autumn for those new to the field, or who may just want a refresher on the basics of construction law.
