In the 11th episode of Houston Law Nerd Podcast, I sit down with Judge Steve Duble, Harris County Justice of the Peace Precinct 1, Place 2, a life-long Houstonian and a long-time civil litigation attorney before taking office.

Listen in and learn while we discuss a number of topics including his long career as a civil litigation attorney, including arguing Houston-area and 5th Circuit appeals, his decision to run for Justice of the Peace of Harris County Precinct 1, Place 2, the types of matters that are within his Court's jurisdiction, his efforts while on the bench to make the court system more accessible for laypersons, including by securing grants to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and its adverse affect on the rental system and tenants and to secure funding for an eviction-prevention facilitator, the kiosks that are available at his courthouse to allow laypersons to access information and to prepare and file court documents, and his favorite courtroom TV show, among other topics.
