Fun Facts
I began working regularly as a kid to pay my Dad for my Denver Broncos Football tickets. So I guess my success is partly due to my Dad wanting me to be accountable from an early age. I love teaching, tutoring and the law, but I often have a sports twist to make it interesting and fun.
As I got older, I quit contact sports and discovered golf. I use my judicial skills on the course as a Hole Marshall to keep spectators quiet and orderly. I have worked 11 PGA or USGA events.
About Me
I am Judge Stephen R. Ruddick. I graduated summa cum laude with a Juris Doctorate degree from the denver">University of Denver, College of Law. I attended night school and recall the struggle to dedicate myself to my future through my law studies while continuing to work during the day. I found that my dedication conditioned me to achieving more than others who did not have this struggle. From this I personally know the importance and value of tutoring and mentoring. We do it as colleagues every day.
Experience
I entered private law practice and quickly turned to serving the public. I have now served in at least four levels and all three branches of our government. As a State Senator, State Representative, Prosecutor, City Attorney and State Court Trial Judge, I am in my second decade of teaching at various universities and tutoring law school, graduate and undergraduate students. It is my joy!
Approach
While I did well in K-12 eudcation, at each stage of college, undergraduate and graduate levels I discovered there were new challenges and struggles. It is a learning experience that goes far beyond academics. We all need and should use tutors, mentors and colleagues. I learned that we all do better when we reach out to others for guidance. I still do that today in my legal practice and encourage everyone to do the same.
