Alabama’s courts must stand for everyone. Regardless of who you are, when you walk into a courtroom, you deserve fundamental fairness. The Chief Justice represents that spirit and must stand for all Alabamians. Politics has no place in our courts, and the Chief Justice must focus on the real challenges we face rather than personal agendas. We can overcome these challenges only by working together, and as Chief Justice, my top priority will always be to ensure that our courts serve all people fairly and justly.
