Judge Erica Hughes, the presiding judge over Harris County Criminal Court at Law #3, is a tough act to follow. As you know, a few weeks ago she was selected as “Woman of the Week” by KTRK’s Channel 13. But she isn’t resting on her laurels. Nor is she allowing her recent successes and accolades to go to her head. Nope, she’s continuing to do what she does. And what is that? Well, serve the people, and do the people’s business in a fair, balanced, even-handed, and unbiased manner. After all, isn't that the way it's supposed to be? According to Judge Hughes, many defendants want to take the easy way out, plead guilty and serve their time but she's all about trying to find alternatives like probation, treatment, and searching for ways for folks who happen to come before her to redeem themselves. While she knows that she can’t help everyone, she feels that it’s her duty to at least try. “My goal is to try to help everyone who comes before me,” says this Army daughter who follows in the footsteps of her father. “Maybe I can’t save everybody, but the goal is to try and save everybody.”
In her quest to make a difference, she has allowed more students into her courtroom than just about any other newly elected judge who took office earlier this year. Just yesterday, Thursday, May 23, 2019, she welcomed seventy-five 4th graders from Law Elementary into her courtroom. “The Law Elementary students were very inquisitive and had great questions. It’s always a pleasure to speak to our leaders of the future,” said Judge Erica Hughes.
According to their website, James H. Law served HISD for 29 years. As a popular athletics director and coach at various schools, and founder of Principal's and Classroom Teacher's Association of Houston. James H. Law was a huge contributor to many implementations that propelled many young people to learn with his foundation. After his passing in 1966, their campus was opened in honor of his memory the year he died.
In case you don’t already know, Judge Erica Hughes and her fellow Harris County Court at Law judges were displaced (when they took office) as a result of the havoc wreaked on Houston by Hurricane Harvey. “We have fought hard since our election to have a completely operational courtroom,” says Judge Hughes. “Everyone’s hard work and teamwork paid off,” she explained via a Facebook post earlier in the week. “We have officially moved back into the Criminal Justice Center located at 1201 Franklin Street.”
