Biography
About Eva Guzman
Eva Guzman is a groundbreaking figure, with an impressive history both as a litigator and as a judge. She began her legal career in Houston, managing a successful civil law practice for a decade before accepting gubernatorial appointments, first to the Harris County District Court bench in 1999 and then, in 2001, to the Texas 14th Court of Appeals, where she served for eight years, hearing both civil and criminal cases. In 2009, she accepted a third gubernatorial appointment, becoming the first Latina to serve on the Supreme Court of Texas and the first Latina to be elected to a statewide office in Texas. In more than 20 years on the bench, she ruled on thousands of trial and appellate cases and authored more than 900 opinions.
Today Justice Guzman focuses her practice on litigating cases in state and federal trial and appellate courts. Having served at three levels of the judiciary, she brings extensive experience and unique insights to conflicts pending in courts as well as those in the arbitration and mediation arenas. An elected member of the prestigious American Law Institute for many years, Justice Guzman has contributed to scholarly work aimed at clarifying, modernizing, and otherwise improving the law. She has collaborated on numerous projects, studies, and articles with lawyers, judges, and academicians and also has served as an adjunct professor at the University of Houston Law Center, teaching trial advocacy. While working on her LL.M at Duke University School of Law, she studied under United States Supreme Court Justices Antonin Scalia and Samuel Alito. She is a frequent speaker for legal conferences and symposiums as well as special events in Texas and throughout the country. Frequently dubbed a trailblazer, she has received dozens of honors and awards at local, state, and national levels for her leadership, service, and achievements.
