"The man has a microphone," Tiffany explained.According to U.S. District Clerk of Courts Bob Haas, Tiffany's sample drawing submission "blew everyone away. She draws people's souls." Haas explained that he "wanted to get away from the drab court room picture. The spirit of the trial is what's important." Haas also revealed he is looking for writing samples from fourth and fifth grade students. The lucky winner will help the Judge write the judicial opinions for the case. "Kids are honest," said Haas, "and that's more important than knowing all about the law and so forth."
