History of the Junior Bar and SAYLAThe San Antonio Junior Bar Association began in 1948 as a subsidiary of the "Big Bar," the San Antonio Bar Association, as shown in the historical editions of the Subpoena. In 1952, the "corporate form under which the organizations has operated since 1948 was dissolved and replaced by a constitution and by-laws." Subpoena, June, 1952. In 1974, the organization again made a change to its corporate structure and organized separate from the Big Bar, registering with the State of Texas and the Internal Revenue Service as a non-profit corporation. As happens over time, much of the history was lost. In fact, for a long time, the following logo was used as the official seal and logo of SAYLA. It is unclear the source of "Created in 1950." However, what is known and what is clear is that the Junior Bar and SAYLA have consistent served and represented the young and newly licensed attorneys in the San Antonio area. In 2011, the SAYLA Board of Directors, recognizing that many attorneys who lived and worked in the Greater San Antonio area did not have an association for young lawyers, modified the bylaws to permit attorneys living or working in the counties surrounding Bexar County to become members of SAYLA. Today, the seal and logo of SAYLA incorporates the acronym by which we are more well known, the famous shape of the Alamo, and our name. . Past Presidents of Junior Bar/SAYLA1948 - James C. Brady
