My name is Gene Roberts and I'm running for judge of the 44th District Court in Dallas County, Texas.  I want to earn your support in the election on November 2, 2010.

Judges in Texas are elected by the public, and the 44th District Court Judge will be elected by voters in Dallas County this November.  Elections require judicial candidates to work hard to educate the public about the candidate and the office.  I hope this website will accomplish both of those purposes.

I have had the opportunity to work in a mid-sized law firm, a global law firm and as a solo practitioner.  My clients have ranged from individuals to international companies who have engaged me to file lawsuits for them and to defend them when they were sued.  While I believe strongly that the court system in this country is the absolute best in the world, I also believe that parties to a lawsuit should make every effort to engage in self-determination in resolving their disputes.  That is why, for the past three years, I have been active in mediation and alternative dispute resolution.

The role of judge is a sacred one where the holder of the office recognizes the important power granted by the people.  Judges should not use their position for their own personal gain, instead, a judge should act with humility and reverence for the office.  This campaign will be conducted in accordance with the Judicial Election Creeds. 

Follow campaign developments on this site, on Facebook, and on Twitter.  On behalf of myself, my family, and all those who are supporting me, I say, "thank you," with the deepest sense of gratitude for your support this November.
