Abbott Lures Supreme Court Clerks to Build a Roster of Justices
George Hicks discussed with Bloomberg Law Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s appointment of a third SCOTUS clerk to the Texas Supreme Court and how it will affect the state court system.
... "Abbott outfitting the high court with high court clerks “is a reflection of the Texas government’s demonstrated push to elevate the state court system to first-in-class in the country—which is itself part of a broader plan by the state government to attract business and grow the state,” said Kirkland & Ellis LLP’s George W. Hicks, Jr., who clerked for Chief Justice John Roberts."
