In school, I represented a victim of domestic violence in court; attempting to get victim a temporary restraining order against her abuser/attacker

I was disturbed by the way the judge admonished my client, blaming her for the attack she survived

I decided, if I ever had the chance to become a judge, I would ensure that people, who appeared in my courtroom, would be treated professionally and with the utmost respect

In general, judge or not, being a good person will bring you success. Treat people with respect because they deserve it and so do you.

A diverse judiciary allows for having individuals with have differing life perspectives to draw from them when considering a case, and allows those in the courtroom to feel seen and heard

Even if the judge does not rule in their favor, at least they know that the judge heard where they were coming from, and sometimes that is what matters the most
