As we know, Marshall
Davis Brown, otherwise known as David Brown, graduated from the University of
Texas at Permian Basin prior to attending the South Texas College of Law and
pursing his career in family law. Aside from being one of the biggest public
higher education systems in the country, though, the University of Texas System
is also well-known for turning out so many renowned and respected legal
figures.
Elizabeth Warren is arguably the most prominent legal figure to be
associated with UT. She taught there for six years in the 1980's, and has also
taught at the Harvard Law School. She has since accomplished many other feats.
She's currently the head senator of Massachusetts, but she has also helped to
establish the US Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. She was also a
chairmember of the Congressional Oversight Panel which oversaw the Troubled
Asset Relief Program during the 2008 financial crisis.
Then there was Laura Bush, who was the First Lady from 2001 to 2009.
She got her Master's degree in Library Science at the University of Texas at
Austin. She began to get involved politically when she married George W. Bush
in 1977, implementing many health, education, and literacy initiatives during
her husbands presidency. She also helped Geore W. in his campaign for
presidency during his run.
Perhaps not surprisingly, Jeb Bush, the son of former president George
Bush and George W. Bush's brother, also attended the University of Texas for
Latin American Affairs. He was the governor of Florida for eight years, from
1999 to 2007. He was the only republican Floridian governor to serve two full
terms.
