The paragraph below is developed by a specific mode or pattern. Read the paragraph; then answer the question(s) .
(1) Judges can be divided, on the basis of their written opinions, into three categories: conservative, liberal, and centrist. (2) Although all judges respect the law, conservative judges have an especially strong belief in the importance of the law and the history surrounding it. (3) They believe that real justice comes only from strictly applying the law to the facts of a case, whether or not the outcome seems fair to an individual. (4) On the other hand, liberal judges look beyond a rigid reading to the "spirit of the law" in their search for real justice in a case. (5) They might broadly interpret the law in order to champion individual rights. (6) The outcome of the case matters more to them than the letter of the law. (7) Finally, centrist judges walk the middle ground between conservative and liberal. (8) They do not apply the law as rigidly as conservative judges, yet they are not as willing as liberal judges to apply the law loosely. (9) Having different types of judges helps balance our legal system; their differing views help protect both the law and individual rights.
