Judicial Philosophy
Community Saftey
"A good judge must consider community safety and the rights of victims as an important part of their decision-making process. Now more than ever, dangerous criminals need to be removed from our communities in order to make our neighborhoods safe again. Throughout the last several years, I have seen firsthand the detrimental effects that crime has on our community at large. As a current judge and former prosecutor, I have a record of holding violent offenders accountable and protecting the livelihoods, businesses, and neighborhoods of law-abiding citizens across Cleveland."
- Judge Majer
The Constitution
"A good judge is faithful to the principles of the Constitution. I believe the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights are crucial to protecting our rights and limiting government overreach. This understanding and framework enable me to be entirely impartial in my rulings. When I became a Judge, I took an oath to support the Constitution of Ohio and the United States, and that is exactly what I proudly do each and every day!"
- Judge Majer
Judicial Temperment
"A good judge recognizes that justice is not 'one size fits all.' In each of my proceedings, I take the time and effort to thoroughly explain the court process, and the party's statutory and Constitutional rights. I strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment and I understand the importance of patience and listening with a fair and open mind. As such, every person who appears before me can be assured that they will receive a fair and unbiased trial in which all parties will be heard, respected, and justice will be served fairly and without bias."
- Judge Majer
Reducing Recidivism
"A good judge recognizes opportunities to offer treatment options and other resources to minimize recidivism for non-violent offenders. Throughout my years in the criminal justice system, I have been a part of a Federal Anti-Gang Initiative, the Juvenile Court Educational Initiatives for juvenile offenders, and the Juvenile Re-Entry Court. Through these programs, we improved the quality of life for individuals who otherwise may have been repeat offenders. I carry and maintain these principals in the courtroom today."
