One of the challenges of being a judge is to treat every individual with dignity and compassion, while still holding them accountable for their actions. Judges are tasked with protecting all parties’ rights, treating all parties with dignity and compassion, ensuring that all voices are heard, holding those responsible for their actions, and protecting the vulnerable.
