The Austin Bar Association Civil Appellate Law Section, along with several law-firm sponsors (including Smith Law Group, P.C.), is hosting a retirement reception for Third Court of Appeals Chief Justice Woodie Jones on Thursday, December 11, 2014, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the Headliners Club.
As many Austin-area readers know, Chief Justice Jones is winding up his second stint on the Third Court. He was elected Justice in 1998 and served in that capacity for twelve years. After a successful run in private practice, he unseated the incumbent chief justice in the 2008 election and has led the Court successfully ever since.
Justice Jeff Rose won a contested election to replace the Chief and knows he has big shoes to fill. Come out Thursday evening and help us celebrate Chief Justice Jones’s fine judicial career.
