Andrew Buck Ritchie is a 3L J.D. candidate who will graduate in May of 2026. Buck was born in Portland, Texas where he spent most of his life before moving to Austin, Texas at the beginning of high school. Buck graduated from Texas Christian University in 2023 with a degree in Finance and Entrepreneurship.
After spending two years working in finance at TCU, Buck decided that it was not something he wanted to do for the long term and began looking to further his education by enrolling in law school.
Following his 1L year Buck spent the first portion of the summer clerking for Moses, Palmer & Howell in Fort Worth, Texas, before moving on to work as a judicial intern for the Honorable Judge Chris Taylor of the 48th District Court and the Honorable Judge Kimberly Fitzpatrick of the 342nd District Court. During his 2L summer Buck worked as a summer associate for Kelly Hart & Hallman in their Fort worth office and will be returning to work there after graduation.
In his spare time Buck enjoys playing basketball with friends at the law school, playing golf, and visiting friends and family in Fort Worth.
