In all fairness, Elena Kagan had very little trigger time in the court room when Obama nominated her for the Supreme Court, and the vast majority of her qualifications were academic, yet she's proved thus far to be a reasonable addition to the 9 and hasn't made any whacked out decisions deviated from the rest of the court in some way that could be attributed to inexperience.
To be perfectly frank, I know approximately dick about this nominee. That said, if this video is the only criteria you're working with, I'd say you don't really have enough information to determine whether this candidate has the legal knowledge, discernment, or raw intellect to adequately perform the functions of a circuit judge.
Your mistake regarding Kagan is that a seat in the SCOTUS is VASTLY different than a judgeship since within the SCOTUS the qualifications are PURELY academic, and not regarding experience at a jury trial or the experience in the guidelines of sentencing.
