Coming from a long family tradition of educators, Paige combines her passion for education with her desire to shape laws and challenge unjust ones that impact students of all ages.
As an education law attorney, Paige’s practice includes litigation, investigations, training and compliance with state and federal laws, with a focus on equity issues and organizational response to misconduct. Recognizing the complicated ways misconduct impacts individuals and communities, Paige has also trained as a restorative-justice practitioner. In addition, Paige helps educational institutions fulfill their missions by providing guidance on day-to-day operations, including student affairs, accreditation and labor and employment issues.
Prior to joining Husch Blackwell, Paige worked as a legislative aide and policy analyst to Texas State Senator Judith Zaffirini, where she advised on a variety of issues, including school finance and school-to-prison pipeline issues. Paige also served fellowships for prominent civil rights organizations, including the Texas Civil Rights Project and the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund. Her work as a law clerk for Justice Jeff Boyd on the Texas Supreme Court and as an intern for Judge Lee Yeakel in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas further honed her legal, research and writing skills.
Paige was recently named an “Up and Coming Lawyer” by the Austin Black Business Journal.
