Amy's "why"
JUSTICE FOR ALL. EQUALITY FOR ALL. AMY FOR ALL.
Creating a fair justice system means that everyone has equal access to the courts. It means that when someone walks into a criminal court room, the color of their skin doesn’t determine the outcome of their case. It means that when someone walks into a civil court room, the money in their bank account doesn’t determine whether they can pursue justice or not. A judge’s #1 job is to level the playing field for all participants in the court room.
