A quick bit of news especially relevant to our Texas and Houston readers.
Texas Governor, Rick Perry, has appointed Harvey G. Brown of the firm Wright, Brown & Close LLP as justice of the First Court of Appeals here in Houston.
Brown, who formerly served as Judge of the 152nd District Court in Harris County, will take the place formerly occupied by Justice George C. Hanks. His term will expire at the next general election.
Brown is a Texas "Super Lawyer," a frequent and highly sought after CLE speaker, and he writes with a very high level of scholarship on a variety of issues including the uses and admissibility of expert testimony (pdf).
Both before and after serving on the trial bench, Brown pursued an active and sophisticated civil trial and appellate practice here in Houston. He will join a bench that I already consider one of the smartest and best prepared of any that I get to argue before.
Congratulations to Justice Brown and to Governor Perry for a well-made selection.
