He was educated at home, and, selecting the law for his profession, entered the Law School at Albany, New York, the law department of Union College of Schenectady, perhaps better known as the Albany Law School. This institution is celebrated throughout the country as one of the best preparatory law schools in the land. During the period he was in attendance there he also studied in the law office of Louis Hasbrouck, Esq., of Ogdensburg.
After his graduation, in 1888, he came West and settled in Fresno, entering the office of Judge W. D. Grady, with whom he was associated in practice, under the firm name of Grady & Austin. H Z Austin was to become a judge himself one day.
