I Have Been A Judge

When I Was Growing Up, We Always Had A Big Family Dinner At Around Noon On Sunday. I Still Love That Whenever It Is Possible To Gather The Family Together.

My Grandparents Came Worked Hard, And I Believe They Never Regretted Their Decision To Come Here And Make A New Start.

After Law School, I Had The Opportunity To Clerk For A Tremendous Judge, Leonard I. Garth, On The U.s. Court Of Appeals For The 3rd Circuit, The Court To Which I Was Appointed In 1990.

I Have Been Committed To Carrying Out My Duties... In Accordance With Both The Letter And Spirit Of All Applicable Rules Of Ethics And Canons Of Conduct.

My Parents Grew Up In Poor Families Where Little English Was Spoken, They Both Went To College And Became Teachers. They Believed That Anything Was Possible With Hard Work, And They Particularly Stressed The Importance Of Education. They Instilled That Same Belief In My Sister And Me.
