"He was a man learned in the law, and although he seemed to take his job casually, in reality he kept a firm grip on any proceedings that came before him" (Lee 220).
Atticus tells his children that Judge Taylor is a fair judge who takes his job seriously. Scout mentions that Atticus said that Judge Taylor believes that the "proof is in the pudding" and seldom reverses his decision when evidence is clearly presented. Throughout the trial, Judge Taylor displays his ability to maintain order in his court. There are several moments throughout the trial where Judge Taylor uses his gavel to calm the audience during exciting moments. When Link Deas stands up to defend Tom Robinson's character from the audience, Judge Taylor is quick to tell Link to shut his mouth. After the trial, Scout and Jem find out that Judge Taylor gave Atticus Tom's case because he knew Atticus would defend Tom with integrity. He is portrayed as a fair man who plays a unique role in moving Maycomb towards racial equality.
