Home Awards The Steven G. Condos Award for Outstanding New Member to the College

The award has been presented annually since 2016 to an outstanding first-year member of the College. The Texas Bar College created the award in memory of Steve Condos, one of the original Charter members of the College who served as an influential and hardworking member of the first College Board shortly before his untimely death.

2020 Recipient – Carra Miller

Carra Miller practices Admiralty & Maritime Litigation and General Civil Litigation at Welder Leshin LLP in Corpus Christi. She is a member of the Texas Bar College and the Pro Bono College of the State Bar of Texas.

Championing access to justice, she volunteers for and has promoted attorney participation in Texas Legal Answers, a virtual legal aid clinic, at the state and local levels. The American Bar Association has recognized her pro bono efforts.

Carra was elected in May 2020 as Director for the District 11 seat on the Board of Directors of the State Bar of Texas, where she will serve a three-year term beginning in June 2020. Her goal in that position is to create and implement policies that support lawyers throughout Texas. She is also a board member of the Corpus Christi Young Lawyers Association (incoming President for the 2020-2021 Bar year), the Texas Aggie Bar Association, and the Southeastern Admiralty Law Institute. She also serves on the Texas Young Lawyers Association Attorney Wellness and Competitions committees.

While earning her Juris Doctor from Tulane University Law School, Carra served as Editor-in-Chief of the Tulane Environmental Law Journal. She is also a graduate of Texas A&M University, where she received a degree in Maritime Administration. Carra is married to a sea captain, and enjoys painting in watercolor and reading.
