MCBA Member Spotlight: Clark B. Will — 45 Years of Civil Trial Experience Serving Dallas–Fort Worth Business
The Metroplex Civic & Business Association (MCBA) — a nonpartisan, non-profit business league made up of Dallas–Fort Worth's most influential CEOs — has featured Clark B. Will in its Member Spotlight series. MCBA goes beyond networking, running civic-engagement programs — VOTElocal, GIVElocal, and Adopt-A-Block DFW — that help member companies register employees to vote, volunteer with local charities, and keep DFW neighborhoods clean. Its Member Spotlight series highlights members whose work strengthens the Metroplex.
The recognition lands squarely on the theme of this campaign: the 298th Judicial District Court is a business court as much as it is a people's court. Contract fights, commercial disputes, employment claims, construction defects, insurance disputes, and property rights cases are decided there — and they decide whether a Dallas County business survives a bad quarter or a bad lawsuit.
Why the DFW business community is paying attention to a judicial race
Clark B. Will has spent 45+ years in Texas state and federal courtrooms, representing both plaintiffs and defendants in exactly the kinds of civil cases the 298th District Court hears every day. That balanced record is the reason his peers rate him at the highest level:
- AV Preeminent® peer rating from Martindale-Hubbell — the highest peer-reviewed rating for legal ability and ethical standards, held by roughly the top 10% of attorneys nationally.
- Recognized in The Best Lawyers in America® 2027 — a peer-selected national recognition.
- Admitted to the U.S. Supreme Court, the Fifth Circuit, and all federal courts in Texas.
- Texas Attorney of the Year 2017.
- Six years as a U.S. Army JAG Corps officer.
- Ten years as a Dallas County election judge.
What this means for Dallas County voters
Business and civic organizations do not endorse candidates by spotlighting a member — but they do tell you who the business community already knows and trusts. Voters comparing candidates for the 298th District Court can weigh a 45-year, peer-verified civil trial record against roughly a decade of primarily defense-side practice, and decide which one is ready for a complex civil docket on day one.
