Approach to the law
Wright was quoted in The Ada News:
| “ | A good district judge needs to be calm and thoughtful, decisive and open-minded. They need to have the ability to communicate not just with other attorneys, but with the citizens of the county that are court users and participants. I think it’s crucial for a judge to be conscientious, diligent and have a sense of responsibility to the public in order to be able to analyze the law, apply it to real-life situations and be unbiased in doing that.[3][4] | ” |
