Approach to the law
Draper was quoted in The Ada News:
| “ | I think that we need judges who are willing to make difficult decisions and willing to make those decisions in a timely manner. I think judges need to be deliberate and thoughtful in making their decisions, but they also need to understand that litigants — parties that are in front of them with real controversies between them — need to have decisions so that life can go on and that they can make the best out of whatever decision comes down.[3][4] | ” |
