Exactly
And yet there’s nothing I’d rather be doing! If you’re the job the right way (doing law) for the right reasons (to serve the public), the hard stuff is worth it.

When I became a State Court Judge, Judge Studdard was someone I could count on if I had a question, and he always knew the answer! Congratulations to my dear friend on this very well-deserved award.
Congratulations to Senior Judge Benjamin W. Studdard, III, honored with the Justice Logan E. Bleckley Award by the Atlanta Bar Association’s Litigation Section. He is the first State Court Judge outside Atlanta/Fulton to receive it.

It was truly a pleasure to be in Albany today at @AlbanyStateUniv to honor one of our greatest jurists and Georgians: Judge Herbert Phipps.
It was my honor serving with Judge Herbert Phipps. Thx to the Dougherty Circuit Bar Association Law Day and Judge @KenHodgesGA for recognizing Judge Phipps’ distinguished work as a jurist and defender of civil rights.

Early voting starts tomorrow in Georgia. I hope my fellow Georgians will vote early or on Election Day (May 19th). And when you go to the polls, please don’t forget to vote in the important, down-ballot, nonpartisan judicial elections. This is the general election for these races; and unless there are any runoffs, they’ll be decided on May 19th.
