"Her 2018 exposé on case backlog in Texas family courts prompted statewide docket reform initiatives, demonstrating Morris' ability to drive systemic change through precision reporting."

Defining Works: Three Pillars of Impactful Journalism

This 2024 analysis for ALM Media dissected the 23% year-over-year increase in Section 337 ITC complaints filed by Texas-based tech firms. Morris revealed how Eastern District judges' procedural innovations reduced median time-to-trial by 41 days compared to California venues. Her methodology combined:

Morris' 2023 National Law Journal investigation documented how 14 states implemented real-time financial disclosure systems for judges following ABA model rules. The piece exposed loopholes in 9 states allowing delayed reporting of corporate board positions, featuring an exclusive interview with recused Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan.

This 2024 IAM analysis predicted how new executive appointments would affect SEP licensing negotiations with major smartphone manufacturers. Morris uncovered internal memos showing a strategic pivot toward AI interface patent acquisitions.
