After hearing Mr. McLawrence speak at a law school meeting, I can say that he seems to be very on point about increasing diversity within the legal system and spoke very candidly about increasing the opportunities for women and gays and lesbians. Many people would not openly say that, and I had a lot of respect for him as he emphasized it several times.

I am deeply concerned re: Mr. Mclawrence’s running in the race, especially if that person is Gay!! what is Mr. Mclawrence’s stance on same sex, would a person whom is gay get the same treatment as one that is not gay?? You need to be impartial and I do hope that Mr. Mclawrence views towards the gay community have changed that’s all am say’n.

Hey Einstein:
Its not the “McLawrence” that sounds Arab (or at least very ethnic) its “Jahra” thats appears to present a potential problem. Duh.
I am impressed with Mr. McLawrence, however in a community where many vote for judges and against judges based on perceived ethnicity the name “Jahra” may not fly.
I don’t think that its fair or right, but I do think that its reality.

How does McLawrence sound Arab? Irish maybe? You are a moron and the typical uneducated voter that causes the wrong people to get elected because people like you vote based upon the sound of someones name and not their credentials.

Jahra will have trouble winning for one unfortunate fact. His name sounds Arab and that won’t go over with many voters, especially Jews in the condos.

Judge Seidman lied to the JNC and was caught. Sure people lie, no one is perfect on the other hand shouldnt we expect more from a Judge? Its not about the topic of which he lied about but the lie itself.

Note: Being a lawyer, even for a long time, does not mean you will be a good judge. While related, they require different talents.

Lawyers argue for their clients, Judges resolve disputes among people.

Not quite the same thing. How you handle a charged situation is critical.

Some very good lawyers make terrible judges. They have absolutely no patience and/or are bored. While only good lawyers could make great judges, cause they are reflective and think matters out cautiously.

We need to find those that have the mindset to be good judges. Not lawyers who are tired of being lawyers and want something different to do.
