“We had a case involving the interpretation of a Texas statute, justifying a fairly deep dive into the legislative history. Katharine quickly and efficiently procured legislative materials that would have taken me much longer to find, and found other materials that I would not have found at all. She did an amazing job of organizing and analyzing what she found and giving it to me in a form that was easy to digest and follow. She was able to do this in a small fraction of the time it would have taken me, which allowed us to provide a much better product for the court’s consideration. We will definitely use her whenever we need legislative research in the future.”
