Texas’s brand-new Fifteenth Court of Appeals will hold oral argument on two cases here at Texas Law Wednesday morning, February 12 2025, starting at 9:00 a.m. This is an amazing opportunity to see real-life appellate argument in person without leaving the law school. For each appeal, each side will get 20 minutes to argue (in other words, the oral argument for each case should last just under one hour). You can find more information about these cases (and even read their appellate briefs) at this link on the court’s website.

Chief Justice Scott Brister, Harvard Law; Justice Scott Field '95, Texas Law; and Justice April Farris, Harvard Law.

If you are interested in appellate advocacy, moot court competitions, or preparing for your 1L brief/oral argument assignment, this is for you! If you’re just interested in how Texas court systems or the Texas government works, this is for you, too. The legislature created the Fifteenth Court of Appeals during its 88th Session in 2023. The Court is composed of a Chief Justice and two justices. The Fifteenth Court’s initial term began on September 1, 2024. The court has statewide civil intermediate appellate jurisdiction and exclusive intermediate appellate jurisdiction over matters arising out of or related to a civil appeals brought by or against the state or a board, commission, department, office, or other agency in the executive branch of the state government, including a university system or institution of higher education as defined by Section 61.003, Education Code, or by or against an officer or employee of the state or a board, commission, department, office, or other agency in the executive branch of the state government arising out of that officer's or employee's official conduct (subject to certain exceptions). In addition, the Fifteenth Court has exclusive jurisdiction over appeals from the Texas Business Courts, involving cases dealing with business disputes valued at more than $10 million.

Note: photos will be taken during the session.

Dr. Satsuki Ina will discuss her memoir The Poet and the Silk Girl: A Memoir of Love, Imprisonment, and Protest, a compelling story of one family’s defiance in the face of injustice and how their story echoes across generations.

Satsuki Ina is an Emmy award-winning documentarian, community activist, and co-founder of Tsuru for Solidarity. The Poet and the Silk Girl explores her family’s experience of unjust incarceration during WWII.

Ina links her family’s story to struggles against WWII incarceration camps to ongoing mass incarceration of migrants at the U.S. — Mexico border. Her story and analysis are particularly relevant given national conversations about mass detention camps and invoking the Alien Enemies Act today.

This event is sponsored by the Center for Asian American Studies, Human Rights Watch, Immigration Clinic at the University of Texas School of Law, the Initiative for Law, Societies, and Justice, Rapoport Center for Human Rights and Justice, Sissy Farenthold Fund for Peace and Social Justice, Tsuru for Solidarity, and the William Wayne Justice Center for Public Interest Law.
