Beyond being thorough, I think she is encouraging the two sides to come to an agreement. Much like in a divorce settlement, the court many times tries to get the two sides to reach agreement rather than render a decree.

I was going to say, in all my years in court, I never once remember being surprised by how quickly a judge came to a decision. Whether it was to make sure a decision was air tight, or, like you said, encouraging/allowing more time for the parties to settle, not much happened quickly. Heck, I remember for my criminal cases waiting pretty significant amounts for a pre-sentence investigation and then time on top of that for the judge to consider what was in the report.

Lots of internal debate and contemplation. Like picking out furniture with my wife.
