100 HOUSTON LAW REVIEW

and John T. Montford & Will G. Barber, 1987 Texas Tort Reform: The Quest for a Fairer
and More Predictable Texas Civil Justice System, 25 HOUS. L. REV. 1005 (1988) (Part
Three).

71. Joseph Sanders & Craig Joyce, “Off to the Races”: The 1980s Tort Crisis and the
Law Reform Process, 27 HOUS. L. REV. 207 (1990).

72. The Texas State Legislature meets only biennially (and only for 140 days) every
odd-numbered year, which explains why the next round of tort reform following the one
reported by Montford and Barber would not occur until 1989.

73. For good measure, Sanders and Joyce tossed in a paean to the limitless virtues
of state law reform commissions. Id. at 276–95. To this day, Texas still has not created
one.

74. See Joyce & Hoffman, Boldly, supra note 11, at 698–703 (detailing the
increasing prominence in Decade 2 of the “themed issue”).

86. As EIC of Board 21, the Honorable Cathleen Cochran served using her married
name: Herasimchuk. In 1994, after several years in private practice and as an assistant
county prosecutor (all the while assisting as an adjunct professor at the University of
Houston Law Center), she decided to try to fulfill a dream held since law school and
sought election to the then all-male Texas Court of Criminal Appeals (the state’s court of
last resort in criminal cases). “[U]nfortunately,” she relates, “I ran under my married
name—which was Cathy Herasimchuk—and you can’t win Dog Catcher with a name like
that. So, sure enough, I didn’t win . . . .” HLR Judges Oral History of Houston Law Review
