On September 2, 2021, the Women’s Law Section of the Williamson County Bar Association honored Judge Betsy Lambeth’s commitment to mentorship in the courts with a Certificate of Excellence. Lambeth has served as Judge of the 425th District Court since 2012, when she was elected as the first female district judge in Williamson County.
The cases in Lambeth’s court range from property and financial disputes to divorces and custody issues to CPS cases.
“The work done in our courts can impact the lives of nearly everyone in Williamson County,” Lambeth said, “and I believe it’s incumbent on me, as a judge and public servant, to mentor the attorneys practicing in our courts so they can help the justice system evolve and improve.”
Lambeth is an active participant in bar association events and the local Inn of Court, where she shares her expertise with attorneys in all stages of their careers.
In addition to serving as judge of the 425th District Court, Lambeth is also the Local Administrative District Judge for Williamson County. In this role, she coordinates issues that impact the justice system as a whole and serves as liasion for the judges with other stakeholders. Throughout the Coronavirus pandemic, she has been responsible for coordinating the Courts’ response to COVID-19.
“This has been a tough year for all of us,” said Lambeth. “The judiciary is very proud of the work by the Courts, IT, and other County departments in keeping the courts open during the pandemic to ensure the public have safe and efficient access to justice.”
Prior to being elected to the bench, Lambeth spent 27 years as a litigator in private practice, focusing on various areas of the law, including civil, family, juvenile, banking, oil and gas, and bankruptcy law.
