  • Speaker Biographies Bench Bar Program Judge Ken Starr Is Best
    Speaker Biographies Bench Bar Program Judge Ken Starr Is best known as the independent counsel who headed the investigation that led to the impeachment of U.S. President Bill Clinton. In 1994 Starr was named the independent counsel to lead the investigation into the so-called Whitewater affair, which involved a land deal in Arkansas during the time Clinton was that state’s governor. As a result of the investigation, 11 people—including Clinton associates James and Susan McDougal — were convicted of crimes. He subsequently was directed to investigate what came to be known as Travelgate, involving the firing of longtime White House workers, and Filegate, pertaining to FBI files on Republicans that were found in the White House. In 1998, however, allegations of an affair between Clinton and White House intern Monica Lewinsky became the focus of Starr’s attention. Based on Starr’s findings, the House of Representatives voted to impeach the president in December 1998. The Senate acquitted Clinton the following year. Chief Justice Jeff Bivins Took office as a member of the Tennessee Supreme Court in 2014. He was appointed to this position by Gov. Bill Haslam. He was elected to the remainder of the full term in August 2016. Effective Sept. 1, 2016, his colleagues elected him to the position of Chief Justice. Prior to his appointment to the Tennessee Supreme Court, Justice Bivins was a judge on the Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals. He is a graduate of Vanderbilt University School of Law. He received a bachelor’s degree, magna cum laude from East Tennessee State University, with a major in political science and a minor in criminal justice.

  • From the Dean's Desk Fall Is Shaping up to Be a Great
    From the Dean’s Desk Fall is shaping up to be a great season for Baylor Lawyers. First, John Eddie Williams Jr. (JD ’78) was named the Baylor University Alumnus of the Year. Williams has been a great friend to both Baylor Law and Baylor University. John Eddie and Sheridan provided a lead gift for the construction of the Sheila and Walter Umphrey Law Center and most recently made a very generous gift to the new Baylor Stadium that will sit on the banks of the Brazos River directly across from the Law School. Second, the Hon. Leonard E. Davis (JD ’76), Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, has been named the 2012 Baylor Lawyer of the Year. He was surprised with the announce- ment at the Bench and Bar Conference of the Eastern District of Texas. Finally, a survey of litigators conducted by The American Lawyer selected Baylor Lawyer, the Hon. James Rod- ney Gilstrap (JD ’81) of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, as one of “10 Federal Judges to Watch.” You can read all about them in this issue of the Rocket Docket. Also in this issue, you’ll meet some more of our terrific faculty and staff colleagues and see a photo gallery of Baylor’s Homecoming parade.
