On Saturday, 16 new graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law got copies of the latest book by Dr. Phil, personally autographed by the TV star.

The book was a gift from litigator Bill Dawson, who spoke at the school’s fall hooding ceremony. Dawson’s keynote speech explained that trials are a “microcosm of life.” Among other things, Dawson discussed his good friend Phil McGraw’s work as a jury consultant before becoming a TV star.
