Cantey Hanger LLP said partner Mary H. Barkley, chair of the firm's Appellate section, has earned Board Certification in Civil Appellate Law from the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.
Barkley is active in the Eminent Domain/Property Rights and Commercial Litigation practice areas.
Board Certification is a voluntary designation program certifying Texas attorneys in 25 areas of law. Board-Certified attorneys must be licensed for at least five years, devote a required percentage of practice to a specialty area for at least three years, attend continuing education seminars, pass an evaluation by fellow lawyers and judges, and pass a six-hour written examination.
Out of 110,000 lawyers that are licensed to practice in Texas, only 7,200 are Board-Certified. Of those, 401 are Board-Certified in Civil Appellate Law.
Barkley is a 2002 graduate of Tulane University and 2005 graduate of St. Mary’s University School of Law. She has been practicing with Cantey Hanger LLP since 2007.
