                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, July 30, 2010

  Mr. SHULER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Chief Judge Danny 
Davis for his twenty six years of service as the Chief District Court 
Judge of the 30th Judicial District in Western North Carolina. During 
his thirty one years of experience in the courtroom Judge Davis 
distinguished himself as a superior legal mind, as well as a patient, 
restrained, and fair jurist.
  In the eyes of Judge Davis, an effective judge must listen to both 
sides of an argument and form a sound legal opinion based on fact, 
while also maintaining a courteous and respectful demeanor. Holding 
true to his words, Judge Davis is best known for his fairness and sound 
reasoning.
  Judge Davis has always strived to improve society, leaving his 
community better than he found it. Throughout his career, Davis has 
exemplified the highest standard of legal excellence, maintaining the 
strongest sense of character while reaching a consensus.
  Madam Speaker, I congratulate Judge Davis on his retirement. He has 
exemplified real leadership in his ability to ensure that the utmost 
fairness is in our nation's judicial system. It is truly an honor to 
recognize him for his many years of service and dedication to Western 
North Carolina, and I urge my colleagues to support this remarkable 
jurist.

                          ____________________
