Summary

This quote suggests that judges who are constantly irritable or impatient may struggle with making hasty judgments or decisions without giving proper consideration to all relevant factors. It highlights the negative consequences of impulsive or rash adjudication, hinting that a calm and composed mindset is essential for judges to deliver fair and reasoned judgments. The phrase "premature adjudication" cleverly compares this impatience to premature actions or decisions, indicating a lack of thorough examination and potential errors in the legal process.
