I believe that compassion is the number one characteristic of a good judge, and I am basing that on my observations of judges over my 14 years of practice. Whether it is in a settlement conference, or sentencing, having all parties know that they have not only been listened to, but also been heard, leads to better resolutions and greater confidence in our legal system.
Finally, I spoke about this issue during my campaign in 2020, and I go into more detail on my website (www.votejohnforjudge.com), but my experience as a crime victim and a defense attorney has proven one thing to me, time and time again - we need to have a permanent, restorative justice court in Multnomah County. I believe that all of the candidates agree that reducing recidivism is crucial to our justice system, and to our society. Much of the criminal justice system, however, leaves both victim and defendant feeling unheard, and without an ability to heal themselves and the community at large. A restorative justice mindset, and restorative justice court creates more opportunity to, not only, hold people accountable, but also to allow for healing, and to reduce recidivism.- The use of specialty-court systems to reduce recidivism is critical to creating safer communities, and reducing our prison populations.
- Compassion is the most important characteristic in a good judge
- I believe that my experience in both civil, and criminal law will allow me to become an effective judge more quickly than my fellow candidates.
- Judge Michael Clarke - Columbia County Circuit Court
- DA Joshua Pond - Elected DA for Columbia County
