A University of Texas graduate with highest honors (B.A. and B.B.A. 1936, L.L.B 1939),
Justice Joe R. Greenhill, Sr. (1914-2011) served in the U.S. Naval Reserve during World War
II. In 1949 he became the first assistant attorney general for the state of Texas and helped
argue Sweatt v. Painter, a landmark segregation case, before the U.S. Supreme Court. He
co-founded Graves, Dougherty and Greenhill, an Austin law firm, in 1950, where he practiced
until 1957 when Governor Price Daniel appointed him as an associate justice of the Texas
Supreme Court.
Justice Greenhill remained an associate justice following an election the next year, and
served in that capacity until 1972 when he became the chief justice of the Texas Supreme
Court. During his tenure on the bench Justice Greenhill labored to bring about a Texas
constitution amendment that granted criminal jurisdiction to the Court of Civil Appeals.
Justice Greenhill retired from the Supreme Court in 1982, going on to serve in leadership
positions for numerous legal organizations. Following his retirement, Justice Greenhill
worked to change Texas laws that discouraged mediation and arbitration, resulting in a
reduction of the backlog of cases and increased access to the legal system for low-income
individuals.
Among his many awards and honors, Justice Greenhill was named a Distinguished Alumnus of
the University of Texas School of Law in 1977, an Outstanding Texas Lawyer by the Texas Bar
Foundation in 1989. Also in 1989, Baker Botts established the Endowed Presidential
Scholarship in Law at The University of Texas in Justice Greenhill's name. One of his
highest honors was his selection for membership in the Warren Burger Society by the National
Center for State Courts. Toward the end of his life Justice Greenhill served as counsel to
Baker and Botts, an Austin Law Firm, where he primarily advised attorneys with cases before
the Texas Supreme Court or other appellate Courts. Additionally, he was executive director
emeritus of the State Bar of Texas and president of the Texas Supreme Court Historical
Society. Justice Greenhill died in Austin, Texas, in 2011.

Series I, Bound Texas Supreme Court Notes (123 volumes), divided between Notes on Ungranted
Applications and Notes on Causes, document numerous cases which were considered for hearing
by the Texas State Supreme Court during Justice Greenhill’s tenure as both judge and chief
justice. The apparent gaps for volumes 36, 40, 41 and 45 in Notes on Causes are accounted
for in Series II and III. Volume 46 of Notes on Causes is not present. A reference system to
the Bound Texas Supreme Court Notes consisting of index cards (approximately 1,600) created
by Justice Greenhill is available at Tarlton Law Library.
Series II, Texas Constitutional Revision Commission, comprises of two bound volumes of
transcripts, photographs, correspondence, and other materials relating to the Texas
Constitutional Revision Commission and the Constitutional Commission.
Series III, Scrapbooks, represents two bound volumes of clippings, correspondence,
commentary and other material documenting the Texas State Supreme Court and Justice
Greenhill’s career between 1972 and 1974.
Series IV, Correspondence (.5 linear ft.) primarily consists of letters from Justice
Greenhill that serve as narrative memoires of his time in the Texas State Supreme Court.
Other topics include Texas judges and prominent legal figures Justice Greenhill associated
with. Prominent correspondents include former Director of the Tarlton Law Library Roy M.
Mersky, Bill Pugsley of the Texas State Supreme Court Historical Society, and former Head of
Tarlton’s Special Collections Mike Widener.
Series V, Photographs (.45 linear ft.), mainly documents the Texas State Supreme Court from
the 1950s through the early 1980s. Other subjects include events attended by Justice
Greenhill, the swearing in and induction ceremonies of Justice Greenhill, the swearing in
and induction ceremonies of other judges and Governors Clements and Briscoe, and the
Greenhill family. Most of the photographs appear to be reproductions.
Series VI, Creative works (.26 linear ft), includes speeches, articles, and drafts
documenting Texas legal history in the second half of the twentieth century, biographies of
other judges, and Justice Greenhill’s career in the Texas State Supreme Court. Memoires
describe Justice Greenhill’s earlier work as an enlisted serviceman in World War Two and as
an attorney, as well as the work of Justice Greenhill’s mother, Violet Greenhill. Additional
topics of interest include the early Texas Supreme Court and the granting of criminal
jurisdiction to the Texas Court of Civil Appeals.

articles, and other publications about the life and work of Justice Greenhill.
