Michael K. Hurst Named to The International Society of Barristers 

DALLAS – Michael K. Hurst, name partner at the highly respected Dallas trial boutique Lynn Pinker Hurst & Schwegmann, has been named as a member of The International Society of Barristers.  

The Society was formed in 1965 to recognize the legal profession’s top attorneys in supporting such principles as retaining the jury trial as the foundation for justice; offering training in trial advocacy; encouraging civility in an adversarial system; and protecting the rights of citizens, the independence of the judiciary and the integrity of the Bar.  

Membership to the Society is by invitation only, following a rigorous screening process that considers the lawyer’s ability, experience, accomplishments and ethical standards as assessed by trial lawyers and judges. 

Hurst has consistently been recognized as one of the top trial lawyers in the nation for large and high-stakes commercial and intellectual property litigation. Board Certified in Civil Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, he has served as President of the Dallas Bar Association and has been recognized as an Outstanding Mentor by both the Dallas Association of Young Lawyers and the Texas Young Lawyers Association. 

Hurst earned his law degree from the South Texas College of Law in Houston in 1990, and his undergraduate degree from The University of Texas in 1987.
