FORT WORTH – Karen Denney, a partner in the
Labor and Employment Practice Group at Haynes and Boone, LLP, has been named the 2012 Outstanding Young Lawyer of Texas by the Texas Young Lawyers Association (TYLA).
The prestigious honor was given for her commitment to and leadership in pro bono work, as well as for her service to the local bar and involvement in the community.

Appeals court judges in Texas are increasingly hostile to jury verdicts in civil cases, especially when the jurors rule in favor of plaintiffs, according to a new Haynes and Boone, LLP study featured by the
Dallas Morning News and
Texas Lawbook.
The report - authored by Houston partners
Lynne Liberato and
Kent Rutter - examined a full year of decisions in 2010-2011 by the state’s 14 courts of appeals. It found that the judges on those courts reverse more than one-third of all civil jury verdicts and that they are four to six times more likely to overturn jury verdicts that favor plaintiffs than verdicts favoring defendants.
