Still Crazy After All These Years
Good news: Lana Shadwick of the Harris County District Attorney's Office's Appellate Section, formerly of Fulbright & Jaworski (and a bunch of other places that have nothing to do with the trial of criminal cases), has decided to run for criminal court judge.
I heard the news that Shadwick would be running in the Republican primary against Kristin Guiney (who outclasses Shadwick across the board, and who I think will likely make a terrific judge) I thought, "It's Christmas in July!"
Why is it such good news? Not because Shadwick is even remotely qualified for the bench-she's not-but because it will provide for highly entertaining blogging. You see, the name on the ballot will be Lana Shadwick, but she'll always be The Lateral Hire to me.
