I had the privilege of clerking for Lane County Circuit Judge Amit Kapoor and witnessing firsthand how he approached every case. Each day I watched him change lives by doing everything he could to reach the right decision.

As his law clerk, I had a front row seat to the inner workings of his chambers and was consistently blown away by the high level, thoughtful way he analyzed every issue presented before him in a court of law. 

Judge Kapoor helped shape my perspective on what it means to be a judge. He is compassionate, hardworking, respects the law and is willing to go the extra mile. And not just for the parties in front of him, but to mentor newer legal professionals. Even now, when I’m required to stay late at work, I often think back to how Judge Kapoor would do the exact same thing.
