    I believe the courtroom should be a safe place accessible to all people who seek justice regardless of the size of their pocketbook, the color of their skin, their voting record, who they love or the status of their citizenship.
  • Key message 2
    A person’s day in court is a huge day in their life. It and they must be treated with dignity, respect and compassion. Knowing not everyone will win in the end requires even more from the bench to provide space to give voice to both sides of the dispute.
  • Key message 3
    Public service does not just stop from 9 to 5 in the courtroom. Public service is an around the clock duty. It requires judges to get off the bench and take off our robes and serve our communities on boards, in our schools, in our neighborhoods, in times of crisis and where we are needed.
