As a judge, my primary duty to is follow the law faithfully and impartially. My background and education have taught me the importance of making sure everyone comes away from my courtroom knowing that I heard them and feeling that the process was fair regardless of the outcome.
The law establishes the rights of people who are charged with crimes as well as the ways in which victims of crime can seek justice through the legal process. My most important obligation is to follow the law while treating everyone with dignity and respect no matter their role in the process.
