Jost
Assistant County Attorney
Suzanne Jost grew up in the Hill Country, graduating
from Tivy High School in Kerrville. While in High School, Suzanne
demonstrated an interest in the legal profession by participating
in speech contests, mock trials and debates. Following completion
of high school, Suzanne attended Schreiner College for one year before
transferring to the University of Texas in Austin. After graduation
from UT, Suzanne entered the teaching profession. For three years,
she taught fifth graders at Lago Vista Elementary School. The following
year, she worked as a reading specialist, training other teachers
and working with students to improve their reading skills. While
growing up, Suzanne had been active in competitive sports. As a teacher,
Suzanne continued this interest by coaching volleyball and softball
at the high school level.
In 1998, as the result of a personal loss, Suzanne
decided to leave the teaching profession and pursue her childhood
goal of becoming an attorney. Entering St. Mary's School of
Law in San Antonio, Suzanne focused her studies on trial advocacy
and prosecution. For two years, Suzanne was a member of the Mock
Trial External Advocacy Team, attending competitions in Dallas, Florida
and New York. Suzanne also excelled in legal research and writing,
publishing a paper on the administrative powers of the Texas Commission
on Environmental Quality and the effect of those powers on local
enforcement of environmental laws. Excelling in other areas as well,
Suzanne was selected to tutor first year law students and spent one
semester clerking in the office of Edward Prado, Justice of the U.
S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. During her last year of law school,
Suzanne was inducted into the St. Mary's Order of Barristers,
an advocacy award given by the professors of the law school.
While in law school, Suzanne was employed for two summers
as a law clerk at the Kendall County Attorney's office. Upon
graduation from law school, Suzanne received an offer to become a
prosecutor in the District Attorney's office in Harris County.
At about the same time, a position as Assistant County Attorney became
available in Kendall County. Choosing to remain in the Hill Country
and work with the people that she knew from her experience as a law
clerk, Suzanne accepted the position with Kendall County.
As the Chief Prosecutor of the County Attorney's
office, Suzanne has an enviable record of success at both the trial
and appellant level. Kendall County is fortunate to have someone
as dedicated and talented as Suzanne, whose principal duties include
prosecution of misdemeanors, handling juvenile cases and obtaining
protective orders for victims of crime.
When not involved with her duties at the County Attorney's
office, Suzanne blends her interest in the welfare of children and
competitive sports by volunteering to coach in the Boerne YMCA Youth
Volleyball League.
