Nine candidates to fill GA Supreme Court vacancy
The nine candidates to replace Leah Ward Sears on the Georgia Supreme Court have been released. There are a couple recognizable names, but word is William Ray is the favorite.
Here are the candidates:
- Stephen Louis A. Dillard (39, lawyer)
- Jim Kelly (53, lawyer)
- David Nahmias (44, United States Attorney for North Georgia)
- Samuel Ozburn (57, Alcovy Circuit Superior Court Judge)
- William Ray (46, Gwinnett County Superior Court Judge)
- Craig Schwall (45, Fulton County Superior Court Judge)
- Mary Staley (56, Cobb County Superior Court Judge)
- Ben Studdard (47, Henry County State Court Chief Judge)
- Rocco Testani (42, lawyer)
In case you haven't heard, Carol Hunstein was sworn in yesterday as the new Chief Justice to the state's highest court.
Comments
Ben Studdard would make a good choice for our Governor to make. I remember him from school. He has the qualities to make a fair and balanced decision on subjects that would fall before him. Good luck to him.
