Judging Philosophy
CX
Judging approach: Policy Maker
Policy priority: Communication skills and resolution of substantive issues are of equal importance
Evidence philosophy: Quality of evidence is more important than quantity of evidence
Paradigm: I am going to always listen to both sides of the argument and how it is presented. However, the quality and plausibility of the argument and how it is presented is ultimately going to weigh heavily on my decision.
