Butler Snow’s summer associates have been gaining hands-on experience while building meaningful connections across our offices.

In Birmingham, the group had the opportunity to visit the Alabama Supreme Court and watch Sarah Rawls present an oral argument.

In Ridgeland, we hosted a mixer with members of the Mississippi Attorney General’s Office and their summer interns, creating a valuable space for networking and conversation.

We’re proud to partner with Caiden's Corner - The Ausome Families Foundation and their mission to create safe and sensory-friendly spaces for all. Thank you for your support of children and families across Mississippi!

Y'all... we've spent ALL DAY working on the design for our Mobile Sensory Unit wrap, and we are getting so close! 💙💛

A few final tweaks to do, but this trailer is going to travel across the Mississippi Gulf Coast, bringing sensory support, inclusion, resources, and safe spaces directly to families in our community.

The design has to be finalized and sent to print no later than THURSDAY, which means this is your opportunity to have your business featured on the Mobile Sensory Unit before it hits the road.

Imagine your logo traveling to community events, schools, festivals, sporting events, and sensory-friendly experiences all across South Mississippi while helping us create more inclusive spaces for children and families.

✅ Sponsor spots are still available
✅ Business logo featured on the unit
✅ Support a project that directly impacts local families
✅ Help us bring sensory support wherever it's needed

We're incredibly grateful to the community partners who have already jumped on board.

In his latest Butler Snow blog, attorney Bill Moore examines how recent Texas court decisions may significantly narrow the practical path for challenging ERCOT Board protocol actions.

The article explains how challengers may now be required to proceed through ERCOT alternative dispute resolution and the Public Utility Commission of Texas complaint process before reaching the courts, raising a broader question about whether that framework reflects legislative intent.

Some of the best summer associate memories happen outside of the office. So far, our summer associates have played paddleball in Nashville, cheered on the RiverDogs in Charleston, tested their aim with axe throwing in Denver, and sharpened their cooking skills in Baton Rouge.
