Trading Cards

Austin attorney Kurt Kuhn of Brown McCarroll LLP wanted to spruce up his speech with a little attention getter. He was giving a speech on "Voting Patterns on the Texas Supreme Court" which was given at the 21st annual Advanced Civil Appellate Practice Course.


So to make it interesting, Kuhn had made 450 packets of trading cards of head shots of Texas's nine Supreme Court justices in their robes with their decision records on the back. They were a hit and all nine of the supreme court loved it. “There were some who thought the judges wouldn’t have a sense of humor, but the judges really loved ‘em,” said Austin attorney Kurt Kuhn of Brown McCarroll LLP. I've never been a fan of collecting trading cards, and I don't think this will change my mind.
