Atty Jackson talks more like an incumbent judge already serving in the Circuit Court. Someone already happy with the status quo and not necessarily open to making any considerable changes. 23:53 In comparison, Atty Goodyear sounds more like a devoted civic minded public defender with lots of promising new ideas but possibly less than realistic ideals about what goals are achievable let alone which ones are even feasible. Atty Jackson appears to give the idea of adding newer technology and innovations in the court system a passing degree of consideration but overall feels that most of them for the most part exist already in place if just not being used enough due to lack of knowledge by court officials in properly administering them. On the other hand, Atty Goodyear sounds more like someone who wants to spend a lot more money on adding more technological services without giving as much consideration to cost or even long term practicality of use.14:56 On the other hand. Atty Jackson has her own ideas on efficiency when it comes to clearing the docket and adjudicating more cases 21:56, Atty Jackson seems to have a great degree of experience as a trial atty in this specific area , However, Ms Goodyear being a public defender herself for over 26 years has maybe the more practical experience. Atty Jackson has a very methodical process in thinking out her personal caseload and when it comes to saving the taxpayers both time and money. She's probably the more practical choice in that specific area and demonstrates a good management of her time. However, that's not all that it takes to be a good judge. Compassion is also a necessary ingredient in electing a good judge. Atty Goodyear sounds clearly like the more compassionate person running in this race. You can actually hear it in her voice. Atty Jackson sounds more like a traditional law school professor. Atty Jackson without meaning to sometimes sounds rather cold and more rigid in her demeanor but it's likely necessary at times to be that way to maintain efficiency in the courtroom and more effectively distant yourself from the various litigants in the case. The final questions asked in this interview probably sums it up best who you might prefer to vote for as your next judge. Atty Jackson is pretty much happy with the way the court system is already. She's all for "tweaking" the system in areas where necessary but she's overall pleased with its operation.24:53 On the other hand, Atty Goodyear is more interested in implementing change. She's a strong proponent of expanding the usage of specialty courts to free up more time on the docket. However, some of her ideas though tested to a certain degree haven't been proven totally effective to endorse whole heartedly without exception. 13:02 Ms Goodyear also wishes to revise the sentencing structure which ties the hands of most judges and granting more discretionary privileges when it comes to handling out future sentences. Admirable to say the least but is it attainable or even realistic? 25:32 Atty Jackson is the one who will be giving up a lucrative practice in becoming a circuit judge. It's almost like her humble roots are coming back to encourage her to give something back to the community and its people which has given her so much these many years. 29:57 Unfortunately, after 20 years I think it may end up being perceived by some as too little and likely too late by even many in her old neighborhood. On the hand, Ms. Goodyear is more the idealist running here. She's served for so long in the Public Defenders office you get the impression she's ready to really shake things up in the Circuit Court. How that will sit necessarily with her current colleagues within both the prosecutors and public defenders office is really anybody's guess. Undeniably, she's very public and community spirited. 28:15 I can't tell you definitively who to vote for here. Personally, most of my best friends are just like Atty Jackson and I'm just the opposite of them. I'm more like a philosopher or dreamer and they're more of a realist. However, you know what? Who's to say which way of thinking let alone managerial style is really the better choice here. Personally I side with practical experience and dedication which currently leans me more towards Ms. Goodyear. However, the bottom line is this. Either candidate here today is qualified to serve as our next Circuit Ct Judge in Group 5. You cant really go wrong with either choice.

Unfortunately, attorneys are famous for not answering most questions directly. Sometimes you just have to read between the lines and ultimately do your own follow up research,
