Campbell Law School will host U.S. District Court Judge Kenneth Hoyt, author of ‘‘A Legal Lynching…From Which the Legacies of Three Black Houston Lawyers Blossomed,’’ at noon on Wednesday, Oct. 16, in Room 313 to talk about his book and his career. Sign up at the following link for lunch no later than Monday, Oct. 14: https://cuweb.wufoo.com/forms/wuhovq01749hc9/

“Judge Hoyt’s remarkable career includes military reserve service, private practice city attorney, state court judge, federal court judge and adjunct professor,” explained Professor Lucas Osborn, who clerked for Judge Hoyt after law school. “He has relentlessly served communities and pursued justice. Campbell Law is fortunate to host this remarkable person, who will share about his career and his recent book.”

Judge Hoyt’s visit is hosted by the Community, Diversity, and Student Life Committee and “is made possible by the generous support of friends and alumni of Campbell Law,” said Professor Suzanna Geiser, who chairs the committee.

After his talk, Judge Hoyt plans to be available to sign books for anyone who wants to purchase a copy of his book for $20 or brings their own copy.

The book, which was published in May 2023, is not about the major battles African Americans have fought over 400 years, but a thrilling action-packed account that takes place in the criminal justice system, according to the following Amazon review by Distinguished Professor of Law James M. Douglas of Texas Southern University’s Thurgood Marshall School of Law.
