The 2026 Dallas Bar Association Bench Bar Conference is heading to Horseshoe Bay Resort September 24–25, and Right Discovery is excited to be part of the fun. The conference brings together Dallas attorneys, judges and legal professionals for two days of CLEs, conversation, networking and a chance to step away from the usual workday routine. We’re proud to support this year’s conference and look forward to catching up with familiar faces, meeting new ones and enjoying everything Bench Bar has to offer.
One conversation we’re especially looking forward to is the AI Tips & Tricks CLE panel, featuring Victor Vital, Chris Schwegmann and Courtney Barksdale Perez. AI continues to change the way legal professionals approach everything from research and writing to discovery and case preparation, making practical conversations about how to use these tools especially valuable. This panel promises to go beyond the buzzwords and offer useful tips and takeaways attorneys can put into practice.
At Right Discovery, we’re always interested in the practical side of legal technology. AI can be an incredibly powerful tool, but knowing when and how to use it is just as important as having access to it. The right technology, combined with thoughtful workflows and experienced professionals, can help legal teams work more efficiently while keeping quality and sound judgment at the forefront. We’re looking forward to hearing how others are approaching AI and sharing some ideas of our own.
Our CEO, Kevin M. Clark, will be attending alongside the Right Discovery team. We’re looking forward to plenty of conversations throughout the conference, whether they happen during a CLE, over a meal, between sessions or during one of those quick conversations that somehow turn into the most memorable part of an event. And if you’re attending, please come find us. We’re always happy to talk legal tech, eDiscovery, litigation support, AI or absolutely anything else that comes up over a good conversation.
The fun starts early on Wednesday, September 23, with the Welcome Reception. The evening will include a special awards celebration recognizing some of Dallas’ outstanding legal professionals, making it a great opportunity to celebrate the people who contribute so much to the profession. And once the awards are handed out, it’s time to grab the microphone for karaoke. We make no promises about vocal talent, but we can promise that someone will confidently sing a song they absolutely should not be singing.
From insightful CLE sessions and conversations about AI to celebrating Dallas’ legal talent and ending the night with a little karaoke courage, the 2026 DBA Bench Bar Conference looks like a great few days. Right Discovery is proud to support the event and be part of the program. Kevin M. Clark and the Right Discovery team will see you at Horseshoe Bay. Just remember, what happens at “Bench Bar” karaoke probably deserves to stay at the “Bench Bar”karaoke.
