on Monday, Nov. 28. Dorow said she still has not decided whether she will run for the state's highest court, and she would not answer questions about her most recent case because it is still going through the system.Judge Dorow did answer questions about her background, how she prepares for big cases, her philosophy behind sentencing and women's representation in the courtroom.
"You know, I don't know that I can answer that other than we are seeing a lot more women," said Judge Dorow. "I mean, as far as I understand the numbers, right? A lot more women. It's about a 50/50. It's not always that representative, though, on the bench. You have to be very, very comfortable with, ‘The buck stops with you.’ You can't make everyone happy, and sometimes, you have to make really tough decisions that you know are going to impact a variety of people.
"So I have seen a variety of individuals throughout my time," said Judge Dorow. "We have wonderful resources as judges in Wisconsin.
While she would not talk about specifics regarding the Brooks case, Judge Dorow did discuss patience."And without commenting on any specifics of any case, and it's so funny because I'm not necessarily the most patient person, personally. You know what I mean?" said Dorow. "I mean, I can be impatient sometimes. Just ask my children, right? They'll tell you that. Just ask my husband. He'll tell you that.
"I think it depends on the case and the person for how much of that and whether it's appropriate in those circumstances. But I would say oftentimes, especially for the young offenders, to let them know, you know, you're at a crossroads, and you need to make better choices - letting them know you have to move forward," said Dorow."For me, it's being a working mom," said Dorow.
