Musar for Bava Batra 16:1
פדיון שבוים מצוה רבה היא
that the redemption of captives is a religious duty of great importance.
Shenei Luchot HaBerit
Now to the third of Yitro's requirements, that there be אנשי אמת. It is obvious that he did not need to mention that people should tell the truth, rather he referred to the outlook of a person, i.e. whether he always strives to arrive at the truth. It is this latter quality that the judge must possess.
