No, thank you! These cards began to arrive after the Supreme Court, with the help of Texas Court of Criminal Appeals Judge Kevin Patrick Yeary, hosted an impressive group of 45 Texas 4-H Youth Ambassadors to learn about the work of the state's two high courts. What a nice gesture from a truly inspiring group of future Texas leaders!

Students from The University of Texas School of Law and the Texas Pre-Law Honor Society visited the Court to watch the beginning of oral arguments this term. Justice Jeffrey S. Boyd spoke with the Honor Society students after the final oral argument on Tuesday. The students also had an opportunity to chat with the arguing attorneys in the case: Michelle O’neil and Jodi Bender. Justice Evan Young also spoke that evening at the Honor Society's first meeting of the year, engaging and inspiring the next wave of Texas attorneys. #hookem #appellatelinkedin
