Robert W. Stayton (1886-1963), legal educator and authority on Texas civil procedure, was a 1909 graduate of the University of Texas School of Law. He practiced law privately, served on the Board of Legal Examiners and the Commission of Appeals, and was president of the State Bar Association before joining the UT law faculty in 1925. Stayton served as a member of the Texas Judicial Council, 1929-1946, created to study the organization, rules, procedure and practices of the Texas judicial system. With the Texas Supreme Court Advisory Committee on Rules of Civil Procedure, 1940-1961, he chaired the Subcommittee on Trial Procedure (Actual trial). After the revised rules, called the greatest work of jurisprudence in the State, were adopted by the court in 1941, Stayton was chair, 1942-1944, of the newly formed Subcommittee on Interpretation of Rules (of the Committee on the Improvement of the Administration of Justice of the State Bar), formed to assist in interpreting the new rules by providing advisory opinions to lawyers. Stayton's life long commitment to civil procedural reform was evidenced by prolific writings and by several research projects.

Title: Robert W. Stayton papers, ca. 1934-1950.

Minutes, proceedings, correspondence, reports, memoranda, printed material, creative works, and legal-style documentation reflect the involvement and activities of Robert W. Stayton in the formulation, interpretation, and evaluation of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure and in the study of the Texas civil judicial system, 1939-1950. The records of the Supreme Court Advisory Committee (1939-49, 4.5 linear feet: 10.8 boxes) thoroughly document the establishment and activities of the Committee related to the drafting and promotion of new rules. While the bulk of the committee's general records (2.7 linear feet: 6.5 boxes) constists of correspondence, reports, proceedings of institutes, and printed material, less well documented are the activities of its six subcommittees, which range from studies of existing procedural statutes to drafting procedural rules. Especially well documented, through the general and numbered correspondence and printed material of the Subcommittee on the Interpretation of Rules (1941-47, 3.33 linear feet: 8 boxes), is Stayton's participation in answering practicing attorney's inquiries regarding application of the new rules. The Stayton research projects (1939-1950, 2.58 linear feet: 1 box, 11 binders), primarily deals with "A study of pendency in Texas civil litigation," whose results were published in several articles in the Texas law review. The study surveys the grounds and rationales of holdings on the Texas Supreme Court from 1886 and those of Texas appellate courts from 1931, with access facilitated through a project explanations book. The records of the Texas Judicial Council (1940-[1950], 0.20 linear feet), while dealing with ethics and judicial administration during the 1940's, provide only sketchy coverage of these topics and Stayton's involvement.
