Event Details

Join the ACS Georgia Lawyer Chapter and Alliance for Justice for a panel discussion on what it's like to serve in the judicial branch at various levels in Georgia's state courts. Panelists will discuss how they became judges, what the initial election or selection process was like, what aspects of being a judge surprised them, and what they wish they had known about becoming a judge earlier in their careers. This is a great panel for those thinking about running for a judgeship in 2026 and beyond.

Featuring:

Justice Verda M. Colvin, Supreme Court of Georgia
Judge Anne Elizabeth Barnes, Georgia Court of Appeals
Judge Eric K. Dunaway, Superior Court of Fulton County
Judge Alvin T. Wong, State Court of Dekalb County
Judge JaDawnya C. Baker, Municipal Court of Atlanta

Moderated by,

Manoj S. "Sachin" Varghese, Partner, Bondurant Mixson & Elmore LLP
