George Philip Kazen (born February 29, 1940) is a Senior United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas.
Born on Leap Day, 1940, Kazen resides in his native Laredo in Webb County, Texas. His parents were E. James Kazen (December 27, 1912 – February 25, 2003) and the former Drusilla Marie Perkins (October 10, 1917 – December 10, 2011), a native of Sioux City, Iowa. James and Drusilla met at the University of Texas at Austin, where both were students. James Kazen was subsequently a long-term Democratic district attorney and district judge for the 49th Judicial District of Texas. Drusilla Kazen, known as "Duchess" Kazen, was the daughter of Samuel Julien Perkins and the former Marion McDermott. She was the last surviving grandchild of Republican U.S. Representative George D. Perkins, also the publisher of the Sioux City Journal. Drusilla Kazen was a dancer who studied under Valentina, noted dancer, actress, and fashion designer.
In 1960, George Kazen received a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from the University of Texas. In 1961, he obtained his Juris Doctor degree from the University of Texas School of Law, at which he was admitted to Chancellors, an honor society considered more prestigious than the Order of the Coif and located only at the UT Law School. Previous Laredoans inducted into Chancellors were Robert L. Bobbitt in 1912 and Ed S. Mann in 1923.
