About Casey Scott
Casey Scott Caton is an attorney admitted to practice in Texas who brings experience in both military and academic settings. He earned his J.D. from Pepperdine University Caruso School of Law in 2018 after completing a bachelor’s degree at Hendrix College in 2015. The academic path placed him in classrooms and legal clinics that emphasized research, writing and practical advocacy.
Early in his career he worked as an associate at LexisNexis in 2017, a role that involved supporting legal research platforms and content development. He later spent time at the Viewpoint School as an assistant football coach in 2018, a position outside the courtroom but one that kept him connected to secondary education and youth programs. In 2019 he served as an Assistant Staff Judge Advocate in the United States Air Force, handling legal matters that typically arise in military practice. He has also been listed as an Adjunct Professor of Law at Pepperdine Caruso School of Law.
Caton’s background crosses institutional lines. He has worked in a corporate research environment, taught in a law-school setting and practiced in a military legal office. Those experiences have given him familiarity with legal research tools, academic instruction and the procedures unique to military justice and administrative law. Students and colleagues describe his classroom presence as concise; his military work required the clarity and decisiveness often demanded of judge advocates.
Those who have followed his career note a pattern of roles that place law and learning side by side. At LexisNexis he wrote and edited material aimed at helping other lawyers locate and interpret authorities. While coaching at Viewpoint School he engaged with school administration and parents, an experience that complements understanding of institutional rules and policy. In uniform he advised commanders and represented service members in matters that call for a command of regulations and precedent.
Today Caton maintains ties to Pepperdine University School of Law and is licensed in Texas. He balances teaching commitments and practice, moving between academic responsibilities and client work. He practices mainly in military law, education-related matters and legal research and writing.
