Book Launch with Author Windle Turley

April 9th, 2026 | 11:30 AM—1:30 PM
SMU Dedman School of Law, Dallas, TX

Join us Thursday, April 9, 2026 for a special book launch event with author and lawyer Windle Turley to celebrate the official release of his newest title, A SENSE OF URGENCY: ONE LAWYER’S JOURNEY TO FIX COMPANIES AND INSTITUTIONS THAT INJURE AND KILL.

When Windle Turley founded the Turley Law Firm in 1973, he was driven by a single calling: to stand up for victims rendered powerless in the immense shadows of institutions that injure and kill. In this reflective memoir, Dallas native Windle Turley recounts his lifelong path towards justice. Interweaving memories of a hard-scrap Oklahoma childhood and later-life adventures, Turley shares compelling stories of taking on titans from the airlines and firearms industry to the Catholic Church itself.
