🎉 Congratulations to Scott Rothenberg of the Law Offices of Scott Rothenberg, recipient of the 2026 W. Page Keeton Award for Excellence in Continuing Legal Education!

For more than two decades, Scott has been a dedicated advocate and contributor to continuing legal education in Texas and beyond, generously sharing his time, insight, and expertise as both a speaker and planning committee member across many UT Law CLE programs, including the Conference on State and Federal Appeals, the Admiralty and Maritime Law Conference, and the Gas and Power Institute.

Because of Scott’s leadership and enduring commitment, these programs have become some of UT Law CLE’s most respected and highly anticipated conferences each year. His perspective on the legal and ethical issues of the day has helped attorneys strengthen their practice and professional acumen.

We’re proud to recognize Scott for his outstanding service to the legal profession and for helping ensure continuing legal education remains a vital force in supporting lawyers and advancing the profession.
