Charlotte Observer

Jane Gray brings to every engagement her conscience, her sharp intellect, and a principled view of her responsibilities under the law and to her fellow citizens. As importantly, her compassion and sense of humanity inform her decisions on matters of justice and mercy in ways that make me particularly grateful for her service. She is an honorable person and an excellent judge.

Jo Anne Sanford
Former Chair, North Carolina Utilities Commission

Judge Gray has served the citizens of this state with outstanding fairness, honesty and integrity. She sits squarely in the middle as she hears cases, with no bias toward either side. She makes her rulings based solely upon the law. That is the mark of a great judge and is why I give her my enthusiastic endorsement.

Bryan Collins
Wake County Public Defender

Jane Gray is the sort of person needed on the appellate judiciary—intellectual, knowledgeable, and fair.

Jim Smith
Attorney, Attorney General’s Office (retired)

As an army officer, honor and integrity were utmost in my every endeavor and in the evaluation of those with whom I served, especially in combat. Applying that same standard to Jane Gray as a fellow law student and attorney makes her my choice for judge in any court.

Davey L. Stanley
Colonel, U.S. Army (retired)

Judge Gray is an excellent jurist, and is absolutely fair and impartial. Her personal and judicial demeanor makes being in her courtroom a pleasure, and she allows lawyers to try their cases. She takes time to listen to lawyers and litigants alike, and always rules “right down the middle.” Though our firm will miss her on the District Court bench, Judge Gray will be excellent as a Court of Appeals judge.
