STATE JUDICIAL EDUCATORS  \n ews  \nVoL 13 No. 1 Spring 1998  \nIs the Myers..;Briggs Type Inventory  \nUseful Education?  \nF orty-eight-year-old Ron has  \nbeen an enthusiastic judge in the brand new family law division for four years. He volunteered tobe among the first judges in the division. He enjoys the work, but has struggled with two recurring problems: finishing hearings on time and deciding close questions in custody and visitation matters. While he resolves property division, alimony, and support with confidence, he cannot bring himself to cut off argument when a hearing is running over its allotted time. Then, when the final facts are in, especially on custody and visitation, he frequently gets stuck on the decision itself. Lawyers are frustrated because hearing time is hard to get, and they frequently wait up to an hour or more past their set time just to get heard. They don't receive rulings for sixty to ninety days after hearings. Other judges hate to take  \nHan. Scott Brownell (ENTP) has been a circuit judge for twelve years and was certified to administer and interpret the MBTI in 1996. He was the founding dean and has served on the faculty of the Florida College of Advanced Judicial Studies.  \nHon. Scott Brownell  \nover his division for all the unresolved matters littering the docket.  \nFifty-four-year-old Elizabeth has been a judge for eight years and has built an unflattering reputation asthe \"slave master.\" To her there has never been a valid excuse for a continuance since she was sworn in. Moving cases is what counts. \"It's what the voters want,\" she declares. Placed in administrative positions over other less efficient judges, she doesn't discuss policy, she announces it: \"One trial date, no continuances, no excuses.\" Attempts to discuss or negotiate policy by lawyers or even fellow judges are dismissed. In hearings, when she has heard what she needs to decide, she says exactly that: \"I've heard enough and here is my ruiing,\" eventhough the lawyers may not be finished presenting evidence. While her decisions are nearly always legally correct, few who appear before her feel that they have been heard or understood. When confronted with this information, she is genuinely bewildered. She thought efficiency was universally admired.  \nTwo perfectly competent judges and human beings, one who second guesses himself too much and one  \ntoo little; one who has trouble with closure and decision making, one who is not troubled enough; one who sees all the possibilities inherent in a situation and can't decide, and one who stops listening and decides too quickly. One whose empathy and need to understand complicates his decision making, one whose lack of empathy and need to quickly finish creates anger and resentment. These two fictional judges are, in whole or in part, working in every jurisdiction in America.  \nIf it is important to us as judicial educators to address the whole judge, we cannot ignore problems like these. We cannot dismiss these as personality traits and simply hope they self-correct. Judicial educators know that judging is more than the acquisition of facts and law and regurgitation in the legally correct form. Judges must also be skillful with people and problems. They must manage systems and dockets. More important, judges represent and symbolize the legal system to the citizens who use it. Whether we wish it to be so or not, the quality of the judge in our hometown speaks about the system with the loudest voice. An unfair or incompetent judge does more damage by a thousandfold than an unethical lawyer or an unfair statute.  \nTraditional judicial education addressed only one need of the hometown judge, that is, the delivery of the latest case law and statutory information. Programming for that need was always pretty simple.
