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.

People deserve to be heard, have the judges undivided attention, and be treated with respect.

As a child, family members dealt with issues in court and were dealt the short end of the stick. Wanted to become a lawyer and judge to help others in the same situation.

Judicial Philosophy

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

Judges shouldn't make people feel irritated and unwelcome; everyone should feel like they were heard and had their day in court

People who can't afford an attorney need to be treated with time and respect, not just kicked off the calendar and sent to another courtroom

Balance the needs of the court and the time the court has available with the needs of society

Would work within Georgia's sentencing guidelines to determine if a crime was situational and a one-time offense, as opposed to a repeat offender or someone on the path to becoming a lifetime criminal.

Lizz Kuhn

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
