A Conversation with Sylvia Borunda Firth—Your New State Bar of Texas President

Sylvia Borunda Firth has been sworn in as the new president of the State Bar of Texas! Host Rocky Dhir welcomes Sylvia to discuss her hopes for the presidency, particularly her passion for diversity and inclusion. As the first Hispanic woman and first person from El Paso to ascend to the presidency, Sylvia discusses her unique campaign path, the importance of these “firsts” and the progress they represent, and then also zeros in on two specific issues: her hopes to tackle the problem of “legal deserts” in the state, and her thoughts on  McDonald et al v. Sorrels et al and why a mandatory state bar is good for Texas lawyers.  Sylvia Borunda Firth is a solo practitioner in El Paso, Texas and State Bar of Texas President for 2021-22.
