San Antonio Bar Auxiliary, a component of the San Antonio Bar Association, awards annual scholarships to law students and legal assistants, gives tours of the courthouse to schools and other groups, and conducts a Courthouse Appreciation Project.
The bulk of the collection consists of minutes, reports, correpondence, newsletters and event planning materials.
Historical NoteOriginally named the Women’s Auxiliary of the San Antonio Bar Association, the group changed its name to the San Antonio Bar Auxiliary in 1993.
The purpose of the San Antonio Bar Auxiliary is to encourage awareness of the legal system, participate in community projects, and to provide funds for the San Antonio Bar Auxiliary Foundation. The work of the 150-member San Antonio Bar Auxiliary include giving courthouse tours to schools and other community groups; awarding annual scholarships to law students and legal assistants; delivering wine and cheese baskets to judges who help with the tours; serving lunch to courthouse staff on appreciation day; and providing refreshments to pro bono volunteers at the community justice clinics each month. They also distribute “Now You Are 18” booklets to high school senior government classes and “Lone Star Waves Proudly” to elementary schools.
