They allowed me to see the human side of the bench—wrestling with tough decisions, expressing frustration, finding humor in small moments, and showing vulnerability. That honesty taught me that true justice isn’t mechanical.

I’m especially grateful for the Superior and Appeals Court judges I had the privilege of clerking for early in my career. Their guidance shaped my legal understanding and skills in ways that continue to influence my work today.

Hearing from those who carry such profound responsibility was truly inspiring and allowed me to reflect on my own legal journey—one shaped by the wisdom and honesty of the judges I was fortunate to work with early in my career.
