Abstract

As a newly elected trial judge in the state of Louisiana in 1996, one of the most important decisions I made was joining the American Judges Association, the Voice of the Judiciary^®—the premier organization of judges, for judges. That marked the beginning of my commitment to becoming the best judge I could be, and to working to make our judiciary the finest in the world.

Having just celebrated Thanksgiving with my family, I feel compelled to begin my year as president of the American Judges Association by pointing out all the thank-yous I have for our organization.
