| Collapse all
- Accountability. While most lawsuits are apolitical, some are not. The Fourteenth Court needs a strong independent voice when political pressure arises. That judge should work to persuade his fellow judges when the time calls for it but vigorously dissent if the people’s rights are disregarded. I’ll do just that.
- Justice for the People. Judicial candidates love to say they will just “follow the law,” but that is not always so simple. While that is the principal responsibility of any judge, almost every case an appellate judge decides has a bona fide dispute about the meaning or application of “the law.” On close questions, judges must remember that their job is to read the law in the context of our democracy. As a justice, I will always bear in mind that my job is as a mere cog in our democracy, simply interpreting and applying laws passed by and for the People.
- Empathy towards all advocates and parties. All sorts of people will show up in the courtroom. Most will be unfamiliar with the court of appeals, too. Yet as a part of their government, they still deserve the full consideration and understanding. So I will work hard to treat every person as fairly and respectfully as possible.
