Judicial Philosophy
According to the North Carolina Courts website, "Justice Brady’s judicial philosophy is, first of all, to uphold his oath of office and 'support, maintain, and defend the Constitution.' Justice Brady has a strong commitment to the rule of law, which means that no one person is above the law, and judges are no exception. He believes that the judiciary of North Carolina must remain independent and a separate co-ordinate equal branch of the government of the State of North Carolina, free from undue interference. Justice Brady understands the role of judges is to interpret the law and Constitution as written rather than rewrite the law based upon a judge’s own policy preferences and thereby thwart the express will of the people."

Famous quotes containing the words judicial and/or philosophy:
“Scarcely any political question arises in the United States that is not resolved, sooner or later, into a judicial question.”
—Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
“... if, as women, we accept a philosophy of history that asserts that women are by definition assimilated into the male universal, that we can understand our past through a male lens—if we are unaware that women even have a history—we live our lives similarly unanchored, drifting in response to a veering wind of myth and bias.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
