Yesterday, I had the privilege of addressing the Harris County Commissioners Court alongside STCL SBA President, Emily Blanco, and TMSL SBA President, Taylar Hall to support the addition of new district courts in Harris County. After thoughtful discussion, the Commissioners approved five of the nine proposed courts in a 3-1-1 vote—an important step toward safeguarding the growth of the Houston legal market. As a law student, I’ve seen firsthand how courtroom delays and overwhelming caseloads impact access to justice. One thing is clear: justice delayed is justice denied. But expanding our judiciary isn’t just about reducing backlogs—it’s about ensuring fairness, efficiency, and opportunity for those who rely on our courts. For students and recent graduates, these new courts also mean greater opportunities to build careers here in Houston, reinforcing our city’s reputation as a legal powerhouse. Thank you to Judge?Beau Miller?and Judge Lauren Reeder for leading this initiative and bringing together Houston’s law schools to advocate for meaningful change. Your efforts are helping shape our profession's future and ensuring that Harris County remains a hub for legal excellence. I look forward to seeing the positive impact these new courts will bring!

After the Supreme Court of Texas's oral arguments in the Sheena Courtroom in the John M. O'Quinn Law Building at the University of Houston Law Center, the justices invited audience members to ask questions. After a few false starts where some audience members asked questions that the judges couldn't answer that related to the cases that were argued, University of Houston Law Center law student and UHLC Student Bar Association President Duncan Reedyk was ready with a question that the judges could answer.

At the University of Houston Law Center, we are celebrating "Wicked Week" in anticipation of Halloween. On Wednesday, faculty, staff and students could dress as their favorite professor. Several administrative staff and student workers decided to dress up like University of Houston Law Center Professor Darren Bush. Congrats on Prof. Bush!

During Wicked Week at University of Houston Law Center, several students of Assistant Dean and Professor Meredith J. Duncan dressed up like her. Our faculty have significant impact on our students.

University of Houston Law Center Dean Leonard M. Baynes was very grateful for University of Houston Law Center graduate and Senior Judge Gray Miller of the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Texas for serving as a Jurist in resident for 3 weeks. His last event was a lunch time session with prominent Houston lawyer Alaina King Benford where they discussed persuasion and advocacy sponsored by the UHLC Student Bar Association and The Advocates at UHLC. It was an excellent discussion!
