Why “600 Hemphill”?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of the answer, of course, is that our firm, Lynn Pinker Hurst & Schwegmann<\/a>, already has two successful blogs that start with “600\u201d: 600 Camp<\/a> and 600 Commerce<\/a>. By pure coincidence, the Dallas Court of Appeals and the Fifth Circuit both have “600” street addresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Texas Supreme Court, unfortunately, is located at 201 W. 14th Street in downtown Austin – a wonderful building, to be sure, but no “600.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

But some reflection about Texas history led to a natural choice that reflects this state’s dynamic history and legal tradition. By 600 AD, the foundation of the civil law tradition – the Code of Justinian<\/a> – was complete. Many centuries later, the founding of the Republic of Texas<\/a> placed that tradition (inherited from Spain, and later Mexico) in direct conflict with the English common-law tradition. The hard work of sorting through those conflicts fell to the “John <\/a><\/font>Marshall of Texas<\/a>,” the extraordinary Chief Justice John Hemphill, whose deft opinions stitched together those disparate legal traditions and built the legal foundation for modern Texas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The specific problems that faced Justice Hemphill have long since faded into the history books<\/a>. But the fundamental challenge – integrating disparate sources of legal authority into a coherent path forward – is confronted every day by Texas’s highest court. This blog’s name honors the hard work and creativity needed to carry out that important work. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
