It has become pattern that all the hype lays in the legislative program. But what about the court? I mean, most of us have probably never even stepped foot inside the court. It reaches both judges and attorneys. Why is such a well-regarded program seen as underrated? It’s like the legislature is the egg and the judiciary is the chicken. We could go on and on as to which came first, but we all know if we’re hungry, we’d rather eat a chicken than an egg. While legislature does make the laws, I would argue that those who interpret the law and enact it into daily life are more important.
To support my view, I sat down to chat with Chief Justice Pauline Darr.
Why do you suppose the judicial program is seen as a second to the legislature program?
Darr: The majority of participants are in the legislature. Also, the judicial program entails a lot of work.
What advice would you give to promote the judicial program in the future?
Darr: I think it would help if those who have been a part of the judiciary to spread the word to others; it’s fun and rewarding.
Do you think female-only judges will become a trend? Perhaps males aren’t fit for the court?
Darr: I don’t think it’s a trend, it just kind of happened.
