Retained without competing economics in the outcome. Judgment is the product; independence is its precondition.
Independent judgment for decisions that will be examined later.

Todd R. G. Hill serves as a Public Director — a consumer representative appointed by the Texas Commissioner of Insurance — of the Texas Property & Casualty Insurance Guaranty Association, the statutory body that protects Texas policyholders when a licensed insurer becomes insolvent.
A statutory appointment is not a title one assigns oneself. It is the standard the rest of this practice is held to.
