A jurist is a lawyer or a judge.
firebrand: a person who is passionate about a particular cause, typically inciting change and taking radical action.
So I guess he's a radical judge? Oddly enough, when I typed into Google, "What is a firebrand jurist?" all I got was news stories about Moore winning. Pages and pages, so whoever decided to call him that got their words picked up by every lazy journalist on the Internet.
