| Judicial Philosophy (Max 250 words) | Judges should follow the law and not legislate from the bench or twist the law to fit a personally desired outcome. Litigants should feel confident that their legal matters will receive a fair and impartial hearing, regardless of their status or station in life, and should expect a clear and well-reasoned explanation of their appeal’s result. | ||
