Presiding Judge and 30th Chief Judge, Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia. Atlanta, Georgia
I’ve been working in power walking to my fitness routine this year, so I was pleased to get a PR this morning for my half-mile benchmark.
It took me almost four years to hit this mark, but I’ll take it!
Happy birthday to my sweet Lindley Kay! I love you and I am so proud of you.
It’s been an incredible summer with these amazing interns from University of Georgia School of Law Cumberland School of Law Samford University Morehouse College and The George Washington University.
Congratulations to my newest colleague (and dear friend), Judge Paige Reese Whitaker!
Today is Sirius Black’s Gotcha Day. We are so thankful to have this rascal as part of our family.
It was wonderful to speak at the Arizona Judicial Conference yesterday with my amazing co-panelists: Justice Nathan Hecht, Judge Kim Mueller, and Professor Shawn Patterson. I met so many wonderful justices and judges this week, and I look forward to visiting Arizona again soon.
Congratulations to Judge Paige Reese Whitaker on her appointment to the Court of Appeals of Georgia! Judge Whitaker is a dear friend, a committed public servant, and an excellent jurist with substantial appellate experience. I look forward to serving with her for many years to come.
On this very special episode of “Stephen with a ph.” Server: What’s the name on the order? Me: Stephen with a ph. Server:
This is a huge loss for my Court. Judge Brian Rickman has served our state with honor for the past decade on the Court of Appeals of GA, & I will miss having him as a colleague. I wish him all the best as he returns to private practice, & I know he will continue to be a credit to our profession.
On this Memorial Day, we honor the brave men and women who gave their lives to protect and defend our country. “As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter the words, but to live by them." President John F. Kennedy
Tomorrow will be my first Mother’s Day without my sweet mama. I sure do miss her.
It was truly a pleasure to have a “fireside chat” with the delightful Sarah Isgur this afternoon about her incredible—and New York Times bestselling—book, “Last Branch Standing: A Potentially Surprising, Occasionally Witty Journey Inside Today's Supreme Court.” Come back to Georgia soon!
