Justice Wainwright Resigns

The Texas Supreme Court will be down to eight justices again at the end of this month, as Justice Dale Wainwright announced his resignation from the court last week.  Justice Wainwright served on the court for almost a decade.  He authored a number of important opinions during that time, including Texas Department of Parks and Wildlife v. Miranda and Severance v. Patterson.  I had the honor of serving as his law clerk during the 2009-10 term, where I was able to see the strength of his convictions and his passion for the law first-hand.  We wish him well in his future endeavors.
