Texas Lawyer brought my attention to the publication of Ernie Stromberger’s John Hill for the State of Texas. John Hill, who collaborated on the book before his death in 2007, also served as Secretary of State and Chief Justice of the Texas Supreme Court in his long career.
I had the pleasure of talking with Justice Hill before he passed on when I met him at a reception Winstead held for UH law students. He had a seemingly never ending reservoir of stories, but looking back the most remarkable aspect was that he never really let on who he was. He mentioned that he ‘had been a judge’ and had ‘worked for the state’ for a while. It would seem odd to describe such a larger-than-life personality as humble, but so he was.
