Paul Warren Green (born March 6, 1952)[1] is a former justice of the Supreme Court of Texas.
Green graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Administration in 1974 from the University of Texas at Austin and received his Juris Doctor in 1977 from St. Mary's University School of Law in San Antonio, with the designation as a "distinguished graduate."
Green won the Republican nomination to his seat on the Court in a contested primary against then-Justice Steven Wayne Smith.
Smith, though a new member of the Court at the time, was opposed by then Texas Governor Rick Perry.
Senator John Cornyn, a former Texas Supreme Court justice himself for seven years, also supported Green over Smith.
