When Chief Justice (John) Roberts was interviewed before being sworn into the Supreme Court, he said every time he goes to court, he feels this tingling and that he understands the awesomeness of his responsibilities. I feel much the same way as I prepare to become a circuit court judge.

I think we've been blessed with a very talented and well-respected group of judges and I'm hoping at the beginning to be able to sit with them and pick up a lot of advice.
