Considering the type of work Frye and Associates generally handles it is unlikely that Judge Frye would ever be in the position of hearing a case in which one of the clients was represented by her firm.Daniel Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08005254570208749657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-497484732376418396.post-8706835977745336172010-11-18T14:45:35.914-06:002010-11-18T14:45:35.914-06:00Congratulations to her Honor!

I hope that Judge Frye is a fair and impartial advocate for all the people who appear in her court.<br /><br />Does she have to separate herself from her law firm while serving as an active judge? As such she certainly would be recused from participating in any way with a lawsuit brought by her own firm I would suspect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-497484732376418396.post-84700221876150143152010-11-18T00:19:07.394-06:002010-11-18T00:19:07.394-06:00Congratulations to both Phyllis and thank you to M...Congratulations to both Phyllis and thank you to Mayor Parker and all those voting in progess.MeghanShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07669457678777388374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-497484732376418396.post-12384626925643945272010-11-17T19:55:35.644-06:002010-11-17T19:55:35.644-06:00@Chris - the Law in Houston was known as the "...@Chris - the Law in Houston was known as the "Mask Law" it also prohibited women from wearing pants that zipped up the front.
