“There are three things that a good judge must do. A judge must know the law,” stated Goodman. “I practiced the law for 36 years, handling criminal, murder cases, drug cases, assault cases, civil cases, divorces, and automobile accidents. I have sued insurances companies and insurance companies have hired me. I want to take this experience and knowledge of the law to serve you.”

“Lastly, a judge must listen. I commit to you faithfully that I will listen to the people,” said Goodman. “We must operate our courts for affectively and effectively. But we cannot forget that our courts are dealing with the problems of people.”
