Judicial Administration

On abortion: Is pro-choice; “I have had the experience of representing some young ladies in those matters and they are very hard… regardless of what your opinion is, it’s a young person, who for whatever reason… is coming to the court to get that permission. As a judge, certainly follow the law, certainly make sure that as a judicial waiver, the minor understands the emotional, physical consequences….”

On humility: “I think humility is something you work on everyday…. I think to be hard-working and make sure you do all the research and do everything you need to do to make sure you understand the issues and ask questions of the attorneys and what’s going on this particular issue… humility is something to work on everyday…. I think it’s important for folks to come into court and to feel, when they leave no matter the outcome, that they were heard and their case was heard.”

Her judicial philosophy: “We should have grace and mercy for the folks who are in the courtroom… everybody’s important in the courtroom…. As a judge, I think it’s very, very important to treat people with kindness and with respect.”

Said judges considering judicial waivers should follow the law and ensure minors understand the emotional and physical consequences.

Prioritizes thorough research, asking attorneys questions, and ensuring people feel heard in court regardless of the outcome.

Said judges should treat everyone in the courtroom with kindness and respect.

Judicial Philosophy

Any sanctions?: Mills was sanctioned by the state bar in 2014, as a censure. According to the disciplinary order, Mills was censured in a cast that involved her representing a client who filed an action for return of legal fees. Mills then represented that the client’s fee petition had been dismissed, which was not true.

According to the disciplinary order, Mills was censured in a cast that involved her representing a client who filed an action for return of legal fees. Mills then represented that the client’s fee petition had been dismissed, which was not true. “It was a matter where I believe a racist judge who is very well-known in Guilford County mishandled the manner,” Mills said during the forum. “Nevertheless, the lesson that I learned was that when dealing with the state bar, you need to, no matter what’s going on in your personal life, make sure to fight for your rights and make sure to submit every single argument and appeal that you can and don’t just let it go.”
