What is the Gov looking for in judges?

The MetNews reports: Newsom Will Look for ‘Humility,’ Above All, in Appointing Judges
The “top quality” Gov. Gavin Newsom will seek in the judges he appoints will be “humility,” his legal affairs secretary, Martin Jenkins, has related.
He said Newsom, in a conversation with him, listed intellect, integrity and courage as being among those other qualities. The former jurist, whose father was a janitor, remarked that he agrees that humility—which he said includes the ability “to listen”—is the most important attribute to look for in applicants for judgeship.         Newsom’s father, William Newsom, who died Dec. 12, was a justice if the First District Court of Appeal from 1978-95.
