| Collapse all
- I have a wealth of legal experience serving nine appellate jurists as a researcher and drafter of hundreds of judicial opinions; teaching in law schools, a paralegal program, and a graduate education program; and serving as founder, in-house counsel, and managing partner for a private sector business. Through such experiences, I remain current in diverse substantive areas of law, and proficient in communication skills. My work in appellate courts has been apolitical; I have served four Democratic jurists and five Republican jurists providing substantive and institutional knowledge. To the Court I bring extensive, proven, unparalleled, unbiased appellate judicial analytical and decision-making expertise.
- My judicial philosophy is that of textualism: I believe the law says what it means and means what it says—and does not mean what it does not say. I interpret constitutions and statutes by the ordinary meaning of each text. I strive to interpret each document based on its original language, trying to discern what the original meaning of the text was, based on how the words used would have been used and understood by a reasonable person at the time. My judicial philosophy furthers predictability and stability in the law and aligns with the North Carolina Judicial Branch Mission to “protect and preserve the rights and liberties of all the people as guaranteed by the Constitutions and laws of the United States and North Carolina[.]”
- When analyzing cases, I am rigorous in discerning fine, technical distinctions. I adhere to stare decisis—the doctrine of honoring precedent. I respect Madisonian principles of the separation of powers and believe the role of a judge is to decide cases based on the facts and the law. I oppose judicial activism. And I believe that each case, for the people involved, is the most important case. To each person, I offer the dignity and respect they deserve.
