| Judicial Philosophy (Max 250 words) | Our judicial system should be independent, fair and impartial. Judges should decide cases based upon the facts and law. Our judiciary should uphold the Constitution of the United States and the rule of law. | To work diligently, follow the law and be humble. As a Judge we are public servants and we need to remember that when we put on our robes. It’s imperative to have a good temperament, to respect all those who come into the court, to serve with honor and humility and to be innovative. | |
