In the Nov. 6 general election, voters sent Texas Supreme Court Justice Nathan Hecht to the high court for the fifth time. Early in his upcoming sixth term, Hecht will replace the late Justice Joe Greenhill as the court’s longest-serving justice.
Texas Lawyer Senior Reporter John Council sat down with Hecht in his Austin chambers to talk about how the court has changed over the last 20 years, the effect tort reform and the court’s rulings have had on jurisprudence in Texas, and whether the court will ever be finished issuing decisions on what constitutes an adequate expert report in medical-malpractice cases.
