Approach to the law

Scarfaro's judicial philosophy from her campaign website:

“ I will endeavored to decide each case on the merits using the following principles:
(1) To judge fairly and respectfully, without bias for or against any person or organization;
(2) To thoroughly research matters and to decide them as expeditiously as possible;
(3) To interpret and apply the law accurately, respecting the precedent established in case law and the intent of the Legislature in statutes;
(4) To try not to lose sight of good old common sense and real world concerns.[5][6]
