The Baylor Judicial Tort Reform Survey in the News |
|
As you may recall, Baylor Law School professors conducted a survey of the state's district judges to get their thoughts on frivolous lawsuits, excessive verdicts, and the such. Two Texas plaintiffs' lawyers have recently written a commentary based on the article for the San Antonio Express News. TLR attorney Lee Parsley had his response, and now the plaintiffs' attorneys have responded. To see all the action, check out Todd Smith's Texas Appellate Law Blog.

Thirteenth Court of Appeals Justice Linda Yanez and Judge Susan Criss are in a primary to run against Justice Phil Johnson.
Attorneys Sam Houston of Houston and Baltazar Cruz of Dallas are running against Justice Dale Wainwright.
There are rumors of several well regarded judges who are looking into the likelihood that they will run against Chief Justice Wallace Jefferson.
I have read some of the prior decisions of Justice Yanez and some of the decisions reviewing (and generally reversing) Criss to compare them against Justice Johnson's opinions, but I am unfamiliar with Houston's and Cruz's work.
