“Dear Judge Christian, This is just a note of encouragement. I sat in your courtroom today and observed you. Your kindness and respect for each person that came through was reassuring. You were quite polite. I have not always seen this” --a letter written to Judge Christian, a letter to Judge Christian, signed by Christine on September 12, 2007

“Dear Judge Christian, I wanted to write to tell you how impressed I was to witness your handling of the court case before ours.  I was amazed at what you told the young man about his grades, his future and what you expected of him. I looked at officer sitting next to me and we both said you were an excellent judge.. Thanks for hearing our case. I am sorry it ever had to come to court... Thanks for hearing our case...My son and other students at his school learned a good lesson from the experience.  My best to you.” --a letter to Judge Christian, signed by Scott on November 21, 2007
