Transcript:
I had a prepared set of remarks to read from today, but I'll save us all the next 45 minutes and skip that and deviate. Those judges sitting below me to my right know what I'm about to say to be true and that is when Kevin Dougherty came upon the juvenile court division, he left it in a much better place than when he found it, he left family court in a much better place than when he found it, and he now leads the common pleas court in a much better place than when he found it, due in large part to his leadership, his administrative skills, his passion for what he does, his work ethic all of those things, and his respect for the law. I have no doubt in my mind one day, when you say goodbye to this job that you now embark upon, you're gonna leave it in a much better place than when you found it. Martin Luther King once said, "human progress is not automatic or inevitable. Every step towards the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering and struggle, and the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals." Today, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania adds another such person to its ranks. Congratulations, Kevin!
