A century ago Robert E. “Judge” Underwood established his law practice in Amarillo, Texas. Judge Underwood studied law at the University of Texas for one year then returned home and became a teacher in Jack County, Texas. He continued his legal studies in the evenings from home.  Judge Underwood moved to Amarillo in 1906, became a Potter County Attorney, and then, in 1912 started his own practice.

Judge Underwood left a legacy of leadership and excellence that has transcended his lifetime. He lived by the thought:

“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.”
