In this Dec. 22, 2005 photo, U.S. District Judge Janis Graham Jack, who was appointed by President Bill Clinton in 1994 to fill a new judicial post in the Southern District of Texas, poses in a courtroom of the Southern District of Texas, in Texas. The federal judge who ruled that Texas' foster care system is unconstitutionally broken has been named The Dallas Morning News' Texan of the Year.
