Re-Elect Judge Lane
Fulton County Superior Court
Vote November 4th, 2008!

Dear Friends:

Thank you for visiting my website and for showing your confidence by re-electing me in the past. What a wonderful challenge and opportunity I have had for the past eleven years to serve the citizens of Fulton County, first as a traffic court judge and for the past nine years as the incumbent on the Fulton County Superior Court bench.

There has been much debate about what a judicial candidate ethically can or should comment on. I know I can't make promises or tell you how I might rule on certain issues. I can't offer my opinion on abortion, on gay rights, the pros or cons of gun control, the death penalty, moral decay or domestic violence. However, there are certain things I can promise.

• I promise to continue to competently rule on the complex issues presented in determining civil disputes, including corporate and contract litigation, property rights, personal injury and family law.
  
  
• I promise to be ever aware of the rights of victims of crime. I view the victims of crime to be larger than the person who got shot or the person who got held up. I am mindful that the families of that person are victims too. I am mindful that victims include the mothers of murdered sons, the sisters of tortured brothers, the parents of the accused and children of imprisoned parents. Victims also include those who never made it into court statistics, those who never told, are never found or for whatever reason are not counted. And of course society is a real victim of every breach of the peace and of every crime.
  
  
• I promise, as I have been in the past, to continue to be aware of the rights of defendants as their rights have been defined and guaranteed by the United States and the Georgia constitutions.
  
  
• I promise, as I have done in the past, to think deeply and to act decisively on all civil and criminal matters brought before the Court.
  
  
• I promise in my judgments to honor the rights of individuals and to not be a respecter of the rich or the poor.
  
  
• I promise to be fair.
