Houston, TX (Vocus/PRWEB ) January 26, 2010 -- The Texas Journal of Oil, Gas and Energy Law presented the 2010 Ernest E. Smith Lifetime Achievement Award to Andrews Kurth Partner Timothy Unger, a 1974 graduate of The University of Texas School of Law. This prestigious award is given to recognize an attorney who has made a major contribution to the energy industry.
“All of us at Andrews Kurth salute Tim for this well-deserved honor,” said Bob Jewell, Managing Partner. “I just hope this doesn’t mean that he’s finished practicing. His experience and continuing leadership are major contributors to our firm’s success.”
The Ernest E. Smith Lifetime Achievement Award honors practitioners who have participated in the advancement of natural resources law, policy, or scholarship. The award is named after Professor Ernest E. Smith, the Rex G. Baker Centennial Chair in Natural Resources Law at the University of Texas School of Law. Considered the preeminent specialist in oil, gas, and energy law, Smith co-authored the leading casebook on oil and gas law. He also created the first wind power law class to be taught at an American law school.
The fifth recipient of this prestigious award, Unger joins founding partner Robert C. Bledsoe of Cotton Bledsoe Tighe & Dawson, PC, former Devon Energy General Counsel Duke Ligon, Exxon General Counsel C. Kenneth Roberts, and the late Frank Douglass, founding partner of Scott, Douglass and McConnico, in receiving this honor at the Journal’s annual banquet.
