Former Texas Appellate Justice Bill Boyce Joins Alexander Dubose & Jefferson

HOUSTON – Appellate firm Alexander Dubose & Jefferson LLP is pleased to announce that former Texas Court of Appeals Justice Bill Boyce has joined the firm as a partner in the firm’s Houston office.

Justice Boyce served on the 14th Court of Appeals in Houston from 2007-2018, authoring more than 600 opinions and earning a reputation for his thorough preparation and crisp writing.

In 2013, he was chosen Appellate Judge of the Year by the Texas Association of Civil Trial and Appellate Specialists. In 2015, he was recognized for his contributions to judicial education by earning the American Judges Association’s Judge Bob Jones Memorial Award.

“Bill’s credentials are stellar, and his expertise and knowledge will be a tremendous asset to both our lawyers and clients. He also has an impeccable reputation for professionalism and integrity. We are honored to have such a strong and well-respected individual join our firm and are confident he will be a great fit with our team,” said LaDawn Nandrasy, managing partner of Alexander Dubose & Jefferson.

He argued more than 60 cases in appellate courts throughout Texas and the United States, covering a wide range of matters including torts, administrative law, and complex commercial issues. In 2004, he argued a case before the United States Supreme Court that resulted in a favorable opinion penned by Justice Antonin Scalia.

“The firm is renowned for its deep appellate bench and caliber of lawyers handling complex and interesting litigation matters,” said Justice Boyce. “I am thrilled to be working alongside some of the finest appellate lawyers in the state.”

Justice Boyce has been board certified in Civil Appellate Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization since 1994 and served on the Board’s appellate exam drafting committee. He is an elected member of the prestigious invitation-only American Law Institute and is a member of the Texas Judicial Council and the Supreme Court Advisory Committee.
