Judicial Philosophy

Judicial philosophy - a judicial philosophy is a set of principles that guide a judge's decision-making. I believe a judge's role is to resolve conflicts that cannot be settled by the parties themselves by listening to the evidence, discerning what information is credible, reflecting on the law and making decision that are grounded in law and based on facts. The court process should be accessible, transparent, efficient and impartial. Everyone should feel respected and heard and even if one party does not prevail, he or she should understand why the court ruled the way it did.
