The Independent Weekly

"The Indy endorses Edmunds’ challenger, Suzanne Reynolds, a highly regarded law professor at Wake Forest University who has written the authoritative text on family law in North Carolina. Her scholarly work has shown her to be a strong advocate for alternative sentencing (e.g. mandatory mediation in child-custody cases), and she favors incorporating drug and mental-health courts into the judicial system as a much-needed solution to solving the state’s backlog."

The Daily Reflector

"While Edmunds is a capable judge, Reynolds offers experience in an area of the law that is needed on the court. Voters should select her for this seat."

The Spring Hope Enterprise

"In the supposedly nonpartisan races, Supreme Court Justice Bob Edmunds, Court of Appeals Judge Dough McCullough, and Appeals Court challenger Jewel Ann Farlow have injected partisanship into the races, which calls their judgment into question. The better choice for Supreme Court is Suzanne Reynolds."

The Winston-Salem Chronicle

"And please don't forget to vote for the judges at the end of your ballot. Their roles are vital. And please join us in supporting: Winston-Salem's own Suzanne Reynolds for the Supreme Court..."

-Beth Hodges

"Suzanne was my favorite professor and advisor. She will be an outstanding Justice. Ethics, integrity, compassion and energy…not to mention a great legal mind. The people of NC will be the beneficiary of her being on the Supreme Court."

-Peter Jennings

"I strongly support Suzanne's candidacy for the North Carolina Supreme Court. As her research assistant, I was able to work closely with Suzanne during my time at Wake Forest and had the privilege of assisting her in updating her family law treatise. During that time, I had the opportunity to see first-hand her passion for both her students, and to the law in general. Her integrity and dedication are unquestionable. Unlike many professors, Suzanne's interests and intellect were not solely focused on merely academia, but on the real world and how the law impacts the lives of everyone on a day to day basis, whether they are joining in marriage or dealing with the challenges of separation or otherwise. Suzanne's election to the Court will provide immeasurable opportunities and benefits to the state of North Carolina."

-Margaret Lefevre

"Suzanne was a standout in law school and her career accomplishments since that time give clear evidence of her abilities. She will be an outstanding justice."

-Mark Maland

"I believe Suzanne has the right mix of academic and professional experience, intellectual integrity, and judicial temperament to be an outstanding Justice."

-Jim Phillips

"I wholeheartedly support Suzanne Reynolds and her decision to run for the North Carolina Supreme Court.... Suzanne's passion and commitment to the law have been evident to me for the past 20 years. She is an excellent teacher with scholarly accomplishments second to none. As a student, I observed her keen intellect and caring nature in the classroom. Suzanne engages students with encouragement and the challenge to achieve at levels not thought possible. As a role model, Suzanne exemplifies the importance of our ethical duty to serve the public, give back to the community and make justice available for all. I have had the good fortune to learn from Suzanne both inside and outside of the classroom. In addition to her scholarship, I admire and respect her integrity, calm demeanor, and ability to lead a balanced life."

-Patty Poole

"I can't think of anyone more dedicated to our judicial system here in North Carolina or better equipped to serve on our Supreme Court than Suzanne Reynolds."

-Eugene (Gene) Pridgen

"I know that the North Carolina Supreme Court will benefit from the intelligence, experience and expertise of Suzanne Reynolds as one of its Justices. I know that the students at Wake Forest will truly miss one of the best professors to ever teach there, but as a former District Court Judge, I know that the entire State of North Carolina will benefit greatly by having a family law expert on the Supreme Court bench."

-Gary Tash

"I cannot imagine a better possible candidate for this job than Suzanne Reynolds. It is vital that there be a judge with the kind of family law background that she has."

-Eric Trosch

"Suzanne was a wonderful professor and I know she will make a great Supreme Court Justice."

-Nancy Walker

"I am so pleased to learn that Suzanne is seeking a Supreme Court seat. Her ability, experience and outstanding personal and professional attributes will make her a great Justice."

-Jeffrey Wood

“As a former appellate and trial court judge, and now as a family law practitioner, I have relied on Suzanne Reynolds’ legal knowledge and expertise repeatedly over the years. North Carolina would be very fortunate to have a scholar like Suzanne Reynolds join our Supreme Court.”

-Loretta Biggs

“She has the intellect, integrity, and temperament to make her an outstanding judge.”

-Larry Sitton
