Judicial Administration

Describes the judiciary as a place where all "should be able to carry out each task set before us in such a way that we may proudly represent the Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit as one which is professional and efficient no matter the case before us - without bias or prejudice, with patience and courtesy, and promptly and efficiently."

Said, "Having patience, kindness, or even humility likewise does not mean that as a judge, I would not be able to carry out a variety of duties such as sentencing an individual appropriate for crimes, finding an individual in contempt to which incarceration must ensue, or determining that a parent shall not have any contact with their child."
