Review of Candidate Rulings (Source: Wake Forest School of Law Pro Bono Project)
Levine’s judicial philosophy is defined by a commitment to judicial economy and pragmatism. Her judicial record shows a commitment to deciding cases quickly and accurately in favor of longer, more detailed proceedings. A review of appellate decisions identified four cases in which Judge Levine's orders were at least partially reversed or vacated on appeal. Her more recent rulings have been defined by increasingly specific factual findings while maintaining her commitment to efficiency.
