Texas Appellate Law Blog : Texas Appellate Lawyer & Attorney : D. Todd Smith Law Firm : Appeals, Sanctions, Summary Judgment : Austin, Texas

The Review of Litigation, a student journal at the University of Texas School of Law, has asked me to help promote its upcoming symposium entitled “The Rise of Appellate Litigators and State Solicitors General.”  Timed to coincide with the tenth anniversary of the Texas Solicitor General's Office, the symposium will explore the creation of state solicitor general and state appellate chief positions, as well as matters significant to private appellate practitioners.

The symposium will take place on January 22-23, 2009, in the Eidman Courtroom at UT Law School.  Admission is free, and CLE credit will be provided for a reasonable fee.  More information, including how to register, is available here.

The "quiet trickle of a rumor" that Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher's James C. Ho (pictured) will succeed Ted Cruz as Solicitor General of Texas is true.  Attorney General Greg Abbott's press release is available here.

I have had the privilege of serving with Jim on The Appellate Advocate's editorial board for the past two years.  His credentials speak for themselves.  General Abbott has made an excellent choice.

4/11/08 Update:  Additional reports and commentary are available at the Supreme Court of Texas Blog and Above the Law.
