Serving on the Ohio Supreme Court has been a welcomed, new challenge and I cannot thank my colleagues and support staff enough for their help with everything.
As Justice, my chief responsibility is to respect and honor the rule of law and the Supreme Court’s role as a co-equal branch of government. I view the role of the Court to interpret our constitution while showing judicial restraint from influencing legislation.
Honoring the constitution by upholding the law
Centering my decisions around a strict interpretation of our laws as they are written
Standing strong for the safety and well-being of Ohio’s communities
Maintaining positions as a strict conservative constitutionalist that value the rights of all Ohioans
Upholding the integrity and honesty of the Ohio Supreme Court
Respecting victims of crime and their families;
Enforcing the law to hold violent criminals accountable;
Recognizing the difference between those who need a second chance and those who need restitution;
Remaining transparent and honest in the pursuit of justice.
