My personal beliefis that judges are public servants and Ic owe it the court staff, police officers, and defendants to be thoughtful, courteous, and respectful. It think my style ofjudging would be appropriate for the city. Since becoming aj judge, Ihave made great efforts to be nice and courteous to everyone, including defendants. Ia also make pro se defendants aware oft their rights and make sure they fully understand these rights prior to waiving them. Ia also make inquiries into defendants' ability to pay court fines, and I find alternative punishments and remedies when appropriate. So far, my approach seems to be working. Ihave only had a couple ofminor disturbances in court and Ih have not had any complaints to the Judicial Qualifications Committee ort to any oft the cities I represent, and II have not had any ofr my rulings appealed. Recently, one ofn my courts was honored by the Standing Committee on Judicial Workload Assessment for Clearance Rate Excellence. In Loganville, we were in the top 10j percent of municipal courts for running an efficient docket. Iam very proud oft this because Loganville hired mei in 2021, mostly because oft thel backlog of cases coming out ofCovid from the previous judge's delays in opening up court. Along with my court clerk and staff, we were able to clear a backlog ofaround 2,500 cases within the first year and now we are one oft the most efficient my continuing education hours. courts int the state. 833 GROGAN STREET .
