Former U.S. Supreme Court Clerk Joins National Firm in Houston




HOUSTON, Oct. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- The Lanier Law Firm is announcing the
continued expansion of the firm's Houston office with the addition of
appellate practitioner and former U.S. Supreme Court Clerk Jack L. White.

A West Point graduate who served five years as an Army officer before
graduating with honors from law school, Mr. White recently completed a
prestigious term as a law clerk for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel A. Alito
Jr.

In addition to his appellate expertise, Mr. White also provides clients with
state and federal court experience in securities claims, white collar matters,
bankruptcies and real estate disputes. 

"Jack is a superb attorney who provides critical insights for clients facing
courtroom trials as well as legal appeals," says firm founder Mark Lanier.
"His experiences working at the U.S. Supreme Court and serving our country in
the military will benefit our firm and everyone we represent."

Mr. White graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in 1995 after
earning numerous honors, including being named West Point Cadet of the Year.
After serving five years as a U.S. Army officer, he attended Pepperdine
University School of Law, where he graduated Magna Cum Laude and served as
editor-in-chief of the Pepperdine Law Review. While at Pepperdine, Mr. White
won the National Institute for Trial Advocacy's Tournament of Champions and
the annual Dalsimer Moot Court Competition. He also served as president of the
Christian Legal Society and was a member of Order of the Barristers and Order
of the Coif.

Following law school, Mr. White worked as a law clerk at the United States
Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit on behalf of Justice Alito, who was then
a judge on that court. When Justice Alito was elevated to the U.S. Supreme
Court, he asked Mr. White to join him for a second clerkship during the
Supreme Court's 2008-2009 term.

With offices in Los Angeles, Palo Alto, Houston and New York, The Lanier Law
Firm is committed to addressing client concerns with effective and innovative
solutions in courtrooms across the country. The firm is composed of
outstanding trial attorneys with decades of experience handling cases
involving pharmaceutical liability, asbestos exposure, intellectual property,
