Young Gunner’s SCOTX Series | Episode 8: A Conversation with Justice Evan A. Young

In the penultimate episode of our Young Gunners’ SCOTX series, we
sit down with Justice Evan Young, a first-generation attorney
whose journey to the Texas Supreme Court is rooted in a unique
and varied background. Raised in a military family, Justice Young
moved frequently, with his father serving in the Air Force. His
mother, a pivotal influence, would often take him to Washington,
D.C., where visits to the U.S. Supreme Court sparked his early
interest in the law. His fascination with the rule of law grew as
he studied legal history at Duke University, continued as a
British Marshall Scholar at Oxford, and further developed at Yale
Law School. Reflecting on his time studying under former SCOTX
Chief Justice Thomas "Tom" R. Phillips, Justice Young shares how
these experiences shaped his path toward becoming a true “Texas
lawyer” and, ultimately, his journey to the Texas Supreme Court.
