I just learned that another friend of the UHLC has passed away. Judge Russell Austin suffered a stroke over the weekend and passed away yesterday. Judge Austin received his undergraduate and law degrees from the University of Houston and taught courses at both the University of Houston Law Center and South Texas College of Law. I had the pleasure of meeting Judge Austin only once but left impressed by his generosity and willingness to give back to the legal community through teaching and mentoring. I’ll consider myself fortunate if I have even half the impact in my career as he did in his.
