With Peter Kelly, I'm one of the two lawyers who wrote the favorable comment on the Baylor article that you link here. But unlike Peter, I'm not really a plaintiffs' lawyer; I'm an appellate lawyer who has represented parties on both sides of the docket. Most of my practice now is representing defendants, but I still do some plaintiffs' work. Mark Perlmutter and I have met a few times, when I was a partner at Haynes and Boone in Houston in the mid-'90s and we had a mutual friend. Hope Mark is well. Thanks again. - Jeff Nobles Fri, 30 Nov 2007 23:13:44 +0100 http://www.civtrial.com/blog/litigation/the-baylor-judicial-tort-reform-survey-in-the-news/#comment-24 Have you done any analysis of the prior appellate opinions reviewing the cases of those candidates who would run for the Texas Supreme Court? 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. - conservative democrat Fri, 30 Nov 2007 21:10:39 +0100
