He is tall, calm and thoughtful. His eyes are as blue as his sweater and every once in a while he lets out a soft laugh across the room. Pieter ter Berg on his profession: “Being a judge is a basic attitude. What is it about? “Don’t let yourself be surprised by anything, first listen to what people have to say, have inner balance and respect for others.”
