Adam joins the firm after most recently serving as Staff Attorney for Justice Evan A. Young of the Supreme Court of Texas. Prior to that, he clerked for Justice Brett Busby of the Supreme Court of Texas and Judge Jay S. Bybee of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. He also worked at the Dallas office of an international law firm, where he worked on critical motions in state and federal trial courts, appeals in various courts of appeals, and a successful petition for certiorari before the United States Supreme Court.
Prior to his legal career, Adam was a tenure-track assistant professor of criminal justice at Texas Christian University. He holds a Ph.D. in Criminology, Law and Society, where his dissertation focused on juror perceptions of novel neuroscientific evidence. He is an expert on issues of scientific evidence, jury decisionmaking, and insurance coverage, particularly coverage issues involving the intersection of technology and criminal conduct. He has written more than twenty peer-reviewed, law review, and practitioner publications, including multiple articles recently published in the Yale Law Journal’s online companion, the University of South Carolina Law Review, and the Journal of Economic and Behavioral Organization. His work on juror perceptions of the legal system has been featured in the popular press, including the Wall Street Journal’s law blog and Yahoo’s News blog, and his recent work on insurance coverage has been cited by a federal district court in assessing the constitutionality of a state law.
He brings his unique background to his practice. He has particular expertise in Texas Supreme Court practice and Daubert issues at trial and on appeal.
Outside of work, he is an avid golfer and enjoys spending time with his wife, daughter, and two dogs.
