Dallas, Texas — October 27, 2025 — Brooker Law is proud to announce that trial lawyer Chip Brooker has been selected for membership in the American Board of Trial Advocates ("ABOTA")—one of the nation’s most prestigious organizations of experienced trial lawyers and judges. ABOTA membership is extended by invitation only to attorneys who have demonstrated exceptional trial skill, integrity, and civility in their practice.

“Being invited to join ABOTA is an incredible honor,” said Chip Brooker. “It represents more than just trial experience—it reflects a shared commitment to protecting the right to a civil jury trial and to upholding the Seventh Amendment and the integrity of our profession.”

‍About the American Board of Trial Advocates

Founded in 1958, ABOTA is a national, invitation-only association of only 7,600 trial lawyers and judges across the United States, equally balanced among plaintiff, defense, and judicial members. The organization’s mission is to preserve and promote the right to a civil jury trial, as guaranteed by the Seventh Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

ABOTA works to elevate the standards of professionalism, integrity, and civility within the legal profession while educating both trial lawyers and the public on the importance of the jury system. Through initiatives like Save OurJuries, ABOTA advocates to protect judicial independence and uphold the civil jury system as a cornerstone of American justice.

Membership Standards and the Dallas Chapter

Membership in ABOTA is among the highest professional honors a trial lawyer can receive. To be considered for invitation, an attorney must have at least five years of active trial experience and have tried a minimum of seven civil jury trials to verdict as lead counsel. Members must also demonstrate professionalism, civility, and ethical conduct consistent with ABOTA’s Code of Professionalism and Principles of Civility.

The Dallas Chapter of ABOTA -- one of the most active in the nation -- includes top trial lawyers and judges dedicated to improving advocacy standards and fostering respect for the justice system. The Dallas Chapter regularly sponsors educational programs for attorneys and students and has been honored nationally multiple times as ABOTA's Chapter of the Year.
