I have been a King County Superior Court judge for 17 years. My experience, dedication and efficiency in dispensing justice are extremely valuable to the court. Having held many leadership positions at the local, state and national levels of the judiciary, I constantly seek to improve citizens' access to justice. Growing up in a small, segregated Louisiana town with limited resources, my parents instilled in me the importance of education, hard work and compassion. I moved here to study law and work with organizations dedicated to liberty and justice for all.
Citizens lack information and interest in the judicial system.
This third branch deals with life, liberty, property and personal relationships. Yet, it is too complex for most to understand. At jury selection, I will continue to educate jurors about the system's importance and ask them to share this with others.
