So many people feel anxious when they come to court. I think it’s important to explain to everyone what the law is and what is going on. Not everyone is going to agree with a ruling, but a judge should make every effort for them to understand it.

Faith in the honesty of the courts is very important because so many cases can be life-changing. That’s why it’s important to be truthful and to expect the same from everyone else in a courtroom setting.

Justice shouldn’t be affected by who you are, your politics, or how much money you have. I believe courts should give a fair shake to everyone, whether they’re struggling to make ends meet or a multimillion dollar corporation.
