“I will faithfully apply our Constitution and our laws as they are written, without fear or favor, in every single case. This is my promise to the people of Texas. Our country and our state were built on the principles of freedom and self-governance, and you can count on me to defend those principles every day.”
– Justice Evan Young
Evan Young’s background can be summed up simply: dedication to service, faith, family, and the law.
Justice Evan Young is a proven legal scholar and public servant. Evan’s extensive background in private practice and public service makes him extraordinarily well qualified to serve the people of Texas on their Supreme Court. Evan clerked for Justice Antonin Scalia at the U.S. Supreme Court and has dedicated his life to advancing the rule of law at home and abroad. He will faithfully defend the Constitution and laws for the people of Texas.
It was the honor of a lifetime to be sworn in to the Supreme Court of Texas surrounded by family and friends. I’m grateful to Governor Abbott for his faith in me to uphold the law.
With Tobi holding the historic Sam Houston Bible and Romilly at our side, it was special to be selected by this Governor—a former Justice who knows what the job requires—to this Court, which is full of outstanding jurists. I hope you’ll take a moment to look through some of my favorite photos from that day.
Our courts play their crucial role in our society by ensuring that the promise of equality under the law remains open to everyone on exactly the same terms: the richest and the poorest, the powerful and the weak, the popular and the despised.
