In this episode of the Barrows for Judge campaign podcast, Leslie Barrows discusses why judicial temperament is a critical qualification for family court judges.
Family law cases often involve heightened emotions, uncertainty, and deeply personal issues. A judge’s demeanor, preparation, and leadership can shape how those cases unfold.
Leslie explains how calm and respectful courtrooms reduce conflict, promote fairness, and help families feel heard during difficult moments.
She also addresses the importance of consistency, clarity, and preparation in building trust in the judicial system.
Integrity is not just a campaign slogan, but a daily responsibility that guides every decision on the bench.
This episode highlights how judicial leadership extends beyond rulings and orders to include professionalism, respect, and the steady application of the law.
