Very smart, very alert, extremely careful to uphold defendants rights. Tough on prosecutors, especially regarding paperwork and police reports. Will not tolerate carelessness. Very reasonable and fair.

This judge is extremely intelligent. It's very disappointing, because he knows that the system works terribly, especially for the poor and minorities, but he upholds the prejudices of the system.

Judge Dawson is an extremely fair-minded jurist. To be in his courtroom is to know that all sides of an issue will be given equal consideration. What more could an attorney ask for?
