In that context, “independent spirit” would most likely refer to a judge needing to be above other people’s influence. They need to be able to be independent and make up their own minds without relying on other people’s opinions or making decisions based on what someone else wants. They need to make their decisions based on the facts of the case, their interpretation of the law and precedent.
