  • From the Dean's Desk It Is Always Sad to Say Goodbye to a Baylor Lawyer
    From The Dean’s Desk It is always sad to say goodbye to a Baylor Lawyer, but we can all take comfort in the legacies they leave behind. Earlier this month, Baylor University and Baylor Law School lost distinguished public servant, alumnus, and former University trustee, the Hon. Jack E. Hightower (LLB ’51). Judge Hightower was a gifted public servant who served as a State Representative, State Senator, U.S. Congressman, and Texas Supreme Court Justice. Judge Hightower also will be remembered as a lover of knowledge and a respected bibliophile. He was a magnificent example of the Baylor Law spirit at work in the community. You can read more about Judge Hightower’s life and work in this issue of Rocket Docket. But even as one of our great Baylor Lawyers passes away, others already are at hard at work continuing that legacy of public service. In this issue of Rocket Docket, we profile Cindy Tisdale (JD ’95) of Granbury, who recently was elected chair of the board of directors of the State Bar of Texas. Cindy is a family lawyer who has served as president of the board of directors of the Paluxy River Children’s Advocacy Center and was twice named Hood County Attorney of the Year. You’ll also learn about a new domestic violence prevention program in Williamson County that came about through the efforts of several people, including Baylor Lawyers Dee Hobbs (JD ’05), Williamson County Attorney; and Jackie Borcherding (JD ’05), an assistant district attorney for Williamson County. Please enjoy this issue. Baylor Law Mourns Passing of Distinguished Alumnus Jack E.

  • Wichita Falls Times Record News Achievements of a Lifetime
    Wichita Falls Times Record News Achievements of a lifetime By Jessica Langdon/Times Record News August 26, 2006 A man who helped shape history in North and West Texas is making plans to leave much of his own passion for history where future generations will be able to see it. Jack Hightower, who for decades served the state and the nation — with a career that included terms in the Texas House, the Texas Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives — celebrates his 56th anniversary with his wife, Colleen, today, a few days before another milestone in his life. Hightower will turn 80 on Sept. 6. His alma mater has several projects in the works to celebrate his years, as well as the Hightowers’ careers and contributions over the decades. Jack and Colleen Hightower and their three daughters graduated from Baylor University. Hightower earned his law degree in 1951 and has agreed to leave his collection of more than 2,700 signed books with the Baylor Collections of Political Materials at the W.R. Poage Legislative Library. Hightower has built the collection throughout most of his life and has concentrated on significant authors, he said by phone from his Austin home this week. He focused on important figures, with an emphasis on Texas. Hightower admitted he’s a bit of a packrat when it comes to keeping papers, and he provided Baylor with his papers collected throughout his career. The university has already received some of his materials, but will take on the significant portion upon his death, Hightower said.
