The Texas Center for Legal Ethics is proud to announce that Marcy Hogan Greer will receive the 2026 Chief Justice Jack Pope Professionalism Award.

Each year, the Texas Center for Legal Ethics presents the Pope Award to an appellate attorney or appellate judge who epitomizes the highest standards of professionalism and integrity.

An acclaimed attorney, Greer is the managing partner at Alexander Dubose & Jefferson.

“Chief Justice Jack Pope represented the highest ideals of the Texas legal profession: excellence, respect for others, and devotion to the rule of law,” said former Supreme Court of Texas Chief Justice Wallace B. Jefferson. “Marcy Hogan Greer embodies those same ideals every day.”

“Having spent much of my life observing lawyers and judges at their best, I have come to appreciate the qualities that distinguish the truly exceptional,” said Jefferson, who practices appellate law and received the Pope Award in 2014. “Marcy Hogan Greer exemplifies those qualities. She combines exceptional advocacy with sound judgment, humility, and an unfailing respect for the legal system and everyone who participates in it. She has earned the admiration of lawyers and judges across the country not only because of her remarkable accomplishments, but because she conducts herself with grace, fairness, and unwavering integrity.”

The Pope Award will be presented at the annual Texas Supreme Court Historical Society John Hemphill Dinner on September 10.
