Will Portray Ronald N. Davies,
United States District Judge
It will be my honor and privilege to represent the Honorable Ronald N. Davies, United States District Judge. Judge Davies had served the City of Grand Forks as its Municipal Court Judge. He was a native of Crookston, Minnesota. His family later moved to Grand Forks where he was graduated from Central High School.
He later practiced law in Grand Forks until he was appointed United States District Judge for the District of North Dakota. My presentation to students will be intended to explain to students that we are governed by local, State, and Federal Laws and that the judge’s job is to learn the law and apply it fairly in court to the people involved. Also when a judge puts on the robe of office, his or her obligation is to decide each case fairly and correctly!
