Frightening

This person may be on to something with this suggestion.

Travis County’s first post pandemic in-person jury trial is happening in the 201st district court this week. Judge Amy Clark Meachum presiding. 50 jurors appeared for service and everything is going smoothly. They’re in the second half of voir dire now. ⚖️

A big thank you to Blake Hawthorne for his generosity in giving a guest lecture to the students in the UTexasLaw Appellate Advocacy class last night on practice before the Supreme Court of Texas. What a special treat for the students to hear from the best in the biz!

Another incredible treat for our students who got the full Supreme Court of TX treatment, complete w/ the one, the only— Blake Hawthorne—doing the Oyez oyez oyez to set the tone & start us off right. Our UTexasLaw appellate advocacy students & teaching team are very grateful.
