A newsletter for Georgia’s judges highlighting the judicial branch across the state – both on and off the bench.
Meet the Members of the Judicial Council of Georgia
The 28 member Judicial Council of Georgia meets several times a year to act on policy and administrative matters affecting the judiciary. Judges from Georgia’s appellate and trial courts at all levels are represented on the Judicial Council, as well as a representative from the State Bar of Georgia.
To get to know our members, we are asking each one about how they became judges and what they hope to accomplish during their respective leadership terms.
Videos will be added as they are available. More coming soon…
