Adventures in Lawyer Advertising: State Bar Association of Hubba-Hubba

An ATL reader sent along a link to an attorney profile at the Texas State Bar website, with the following request:

Please find out if this is for real.

The photo on the State Bar of Texas website that prompted the reader’s plea to us, plus the backstory behind the picture — after the jump.


Here is the attorney profile in question:

The Kate Walsh (Grey’s Anatomy & Private Practice star) lookalike is a University of Idaho Law 1990 grad and a solo practitioner in Texas. What’s the story behind the photo?
We called Jane Allen Clark to ask about the photo, and how she chose it. “I just liked it,” she told us. “We all want to look like L.A. Law, I guess.”
After getting our call, she speculated that “maybe [she] shouldn’t have used that particular photo.”
Jane Clark’s area of specialty is not as racy as her state bar association photo. She mainly deals with worker’s compensation issues.
