A Native Texan

Born and raised in San Antonio, Jacob Scholl moved to Houston when he was fifteen. After attending the Marine Military Academy in Harlingen, Jacob earned his Bachelor's in Economics from MSU Denver, graduating magna cum laude. From there, he enrolled in the University of Denver Sturm College of Law to pursue his passion for the law and his dream of becoming an attorney. He earned the highest grade in three of his classes. The University of Denver was ranked #6 in the country for its trial practice program. The Law School's Clinic, ranked #7 in the country, awarded him the position of appellate student-counsel, a first in the law school's 130 year history.

During law school, Jacob also excelled in extracurricular activities outside the classroom. He became a licensed and certified mediator and volunteered his time off campus, helping settle disputes. From his first summer to the end of his law school career, Jacob held four judicial clerkships at the Denver District Court and Colorado Court of Appeals. Lastly, being proud of his Asperger's diagnosis, Jacob published continuing legal education materials for lawyers and lectured on working with clients and counsel on the autism spectrum.

Jacob continues his volunteer service today. In 2022 to 2023, he served on the Texas Bar Leadership Committee and lectured to teenagers at over a dozen high schools about their civil rights in police interaction. Jacob was asked to return to South Early College High School to help coach the debate team, where the students went on to win the regional tournament. In 2023-2024, he served on the Disability Rights and Issues Committee for the Texas Bar. He also enjoys judging advocacy competitors at South Texas College of Law.

In his free time, Jacob enjoys weight training and following the latest legal news on Court TV.
