Action shot of oral argument. An honor to argue before the court I’m running to join to defend a verdict in a well tried case.

Private practice is so crazy because you’ll wake up and find yourself with an opportunity to meet SCOTUS justices, a surprise headshot photo at work, and also you have 5 briefs due and your client found a typo in the signature block and would like an in-person meeting today.

Delighted to present with Judges Jeralynn Manor and Elaine Palmer at the civil trial judges conference in Austin today!

Birthday kicked off with the Lenster suggesting that we grow up into puppies and Papa stick around to clean up our poop. Righteous.

I finally got my PACER access fixed which means I am definitely going to win my election in November.

Sometimes on the campaign trail, you happen upon local legends. (Pictured: me and 1/2 of the Mydolls.)

When I went back into civil private practice I had no idea I’d be making all the arguments the prosecutors used to use against me as a public defender.

That super weird feeling when opposing counsel cites a case you authored as a judge and you remember it doesn’t say that and win the hearing.

Good news: I won my first appeal off the bench! Bad news: I did not succeed in getting the Court of Appeals to reference the Streisand Effect (which I would now refer to as the Afroman Effect.)

My boss found my TikTok. I am hoping his first thought after seeing me cavorting around to The Cranberries’ Dreams to celebrate my election victory isn’t wondering why he hired this weirdo. Ok if it’s the second or third thought but please not the first.

I think I won my primary election! Texas Secretary of State only has 52% of the votes up for some reason but the biggest county has me at a nearly 20-point lead.

As I left for the office today, the Lenster admonished me to be a good baby.

On this last day of early voting, shout out to the young man at Wheeler Ave Baptist Church who got all the info handed to him about the judges, realized he needed to sift through it, borrowed a pen from me and came back ready to vote!!

My husband told me I look like a hot business mermaid and I’ve never felt so sartorially understood.

Post-work blockwalking! Turnout is bananas! You love to see it. Fave interaction: guy opened the door, asked questions. Later ran after me and said “oh the gays like you, you should be good.” Thank you, The Caucus, for your endorsement! 🏳️‍🌈

I feel seen. And I have the bestest coworkers. Maybe I’ll make it through three-week pro bono custody trial and primary election season after all.

I swept the endorsements in my race for chief justice! Early voting in Texas is underway through next Friday and Election Day is March 3!

I'm re-posting this because Sorcha has been in trial and hasn't had as much time as she'd like to campaign. She's amazing and would do great things for the justice system in Texas. Please vote for @justicelandau.bsky.social Sarah Beth Landau! Early voting starts tomorrow!

I’m irrationally irritated that someone got a wild hair and decided to primary me but not to campaign at all, which turns my holidays and spring into a dumpster fire while I try to build my law practice and raise my favorite baby while she does nothing, hiding under a misleading name.

Had a great time in Dallas presenting to the Texas Trial Lawyers Association about Chapter 74 Motions Practice and Appeals. It was extra sweet because my former student is now an organizer for the conference!

Just as I’m wondering to myself why I agree to give so many CLEs, someone who attended my 2-hour criminal seminar last year came up to me to say that she did what I suggested and got a not guilty verdict. How do I top that?!

Fmr. Justice Sarah Beth Landau @justicelandau.bsky.social · 05/01/2026

The Lenster has told me twice this weekend (sua sponte) that he really likes me. Since I am the heavy in the household, it’s extra sweet.

It’s official! I’ve joined Roberts Markland LLP, doing personal injury, appellate, and the former -judge-unusual-cases docket. I feel so lucky to get to work with the judge I clerked for and to work somewhere where I genuinely adore everyone, top to bottom.

The Lenster is extremely excited about birthdays in general and his in particular. He wakes up every morning and confirms, “Lenny birthday not over?” No, I promise you, baby, you did not miss it. There will be big fanfares for days in two countries.

In case you think you can be anonymous practicing law in the fourth largest city in America, I got approached by someone who recognized me because she was a baby federal prosecutor on a case I briefly handled 10 years ago. However you are, it follows you, so be not a jerk.

Mistakes were made. Apparently I have to pay a $100 duty on the cool new work bag I bought for my husband’s birthday. They let me know after it had already shipped. Officially tired of winning.

Let’s be clear. The “they” in this sentence is the law and the “little fights” are domestic violence, which results in 1,300 deaths and 2 million injuries per year.
