Corning: People are essentially good
Away from the bench, Peter Eugene Corning is a teller of jokes, a man who easily laughs. The man entrusted for 27 years by Cayuga County voters to dispense justice according to his best judgment is a storyteller, a mingler, a man of his own.
Local attorneys - even when they don't agree with the longtime Cayuga County judge's decisions - admire his independent decision-making and his command of his courtroom. His intimates say his nature is well-suited to analyze dilemmas and seek a just resolution to felony court cases, family court cases involving negligence of children and custody disputes, and civil cases involving sums up to $25,000.
Corning, for himself, says that he has always tried to be fair.
