Judging Philosophy
CX
Judging approach: Tabula Rasa
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: Blank slate, except that I appreciate hearing arguments that are original or creative. I won’t ignore canned arguments if they apply, but they tend to be less persuasive.
