It has been a year since Scott Brister stepped down as a justice on the Texas Supreme Court, so Texas Lawyer thought it was a good time to get his perspective on all things related to the state’s highest civil court.
Brister knows the Texas Supreme Court from the inside out. After graduation from Harvard Law School in 1980, he served a year as a law clerk for then-state Supreme Court Chief Justice Joe Greenhill. Brister went on to serve as a jurist in the state’s court system for 20 years. Prior to his 2003 appointment to the Supreme Court by Gov. Rick Perry, Brister served as a judge on Houston’s 234th District Court from 1989 to 2000, as a justice on Houston’s 1st Court of Appeals in 2001 and as chief justice of Houston’s 14th Court of Appeals from 2001 to 2003.
