JUDGE
“juhj: n., Middle English, Anglo-French, Old French, Latin
1. a public official authorized to hear and decide cases in a court of law;
2. to hear evidence or legal arguments in a case in order to pass judgment; adjudicate; try:”
For over twenty-five years, I had the honor and privilege of serving the people of Hawai`i as a trial judge. Here are the top five things I observed:
- Nothing good comes out of arguments past midnight.
- Arguments and alcohol don’t mix.
- Learn what it takes to have a healthy relationship.
- If your significant other is unfaithful, move on and don’t look back.
- Do something good with your life; life is precious; don’t waste it.
