In the ninth episode of Houston Law Nerd Podcast, I sit down with Attorney Sean Teare of Houston, Texas, a long-time prosecutor, former Division Chief of the Trial Bureau of the Harris County District Attorney's Office, among other roles, a defense attorney currently with the Cogdell Law Firm, and a Democratic Candidate for Harris County District Attorney. His firm profile is located at https://cogdell-law.com/attorney/sean-b-teare/ and his campaign website is https://seanteareforda.com/.
Listen in and learn while we discuss a number of topics including his early career as a prosecutor with the Harris County District Attorney's Office, his time as a civil trial attorney, trying cases across the country, his transition back to the Harris County Attorney's Office where he had two leadership roles, including Division Chief of the Trial Bureau and supervisor of the Office’s Vehicular Crimes Division, the differences between criminal and civil practice, his approach to voir dire in criminal cases versus civil cases, how and what he learns from juries, the reasons he is running for the Harris County District Attorney, including what he would change were he to take on that role, the instances where bringing in appellate counsel is warranted in a criminal case, and his favorite courtroom TV show and movie, among other topics.
