To the editor:

Judge Judith Stewart is retiring at the end of this year from the Brown Circuit Court.

Please allow me, as an attorney with over 25 years experience in Monroe and surrounding counties, to state the following, as succinctly as possible, and without reservation: Judge Stewart is the finest judge I have ever practiced in front of.

Roy Graham, attorney
