A Texas Lawyer article (New AG Takes Back Hopwood, Creates Appellate Division, 1/4/99) announces that:

    Another academic joining the AG team is Linda Eads, a professor at Southern Methodist University School of Law. Eads will become deputy attorney general for litigation. One of her key duties will be to train the assistant attorneys general to "raise the quality of legal representation," Eads says.

    Eads is currently on leave from SMU prosecuting white-collar criminals as a special assistant U.S. attorney in Dallas. She previously served for eight years in the U.S. Department of Justice as a trial attorney in the tax division.

    Eads teaches course in trial advocacy and has been program director for the National Institute for Trial Advocacy. Other duties for Eads will include guiding key litigation and making decisions where the AG's resources should go.
