They are supposed to apply the law that is established in that place.

Judges interpret laws and issue orders for the enforcement of laws. In criminal courts, judges watch over trials to make sure that the lawyers follow the rules, and in many cases, judges decide how long somoeone goes to jail. Judges also make orders to force poicemen to behave properly and follow rules. If the policeman does not follow the rules, a judge might decide to let the accused criminal go free. In civil courts judges also watch trials and make sure that they lawyers follow the rules. Judges also sometimes decide who is right. They do this when the people who are suing each other agree that they do not want a jury to decide. Judges can also throw out bad cases like when somone sues someone else for a stupid reason.
Well, there is this one certain judge in UT that is bigtime Mormon, and he is not real popular, cause he tosses church talk into his rulings. There was a divorced lady who wanted to move from UT to Oregon several years ago, and the judge told her that the children would have to stay in Utah and be raised "in a proper Mormon environment'" His words exactly! . Yes, this did happen, and the media, even the AP, and Redbook, and Oprah picked up the story.
The CJI and his fellow judges are mandated to interprete the constitiution in right sense and sprit, not to pass value judgement of their own as the case be?, personnal Ideas of judges are for their families, not for cases in public domain?
