Denise Lindberg (3d District) -- he far exceed her expectations: composure, clear command of law made lasting impression.

She clerked for O'Connor, then returned to firm and worked with Roberts. Helped her with a pro bono case. Incredibly nice human being -- never arrogant.

He treats the law and everyone associated with it with respect.

Some commentators fail to note that judges don't get to choose their cases. Appellate court opinions include another opinion.

Always exhibited judicial restraint. Stuck to the law and the case. Towering intellectual skills and engaging personality.
