Judicial Philosophy (Max 250 words)My objective as a jurist is to make a fair and thorough assessment of each case and apply the rule of law in a just manner. I am not a conservative or a liberal. During my fifteen years on the Court, I have established a record of being fair and balanced, hardworking and ethical. I will carry this work ethic to the Chief Justice position and perform my duties accordingly.
