Changing for Retirement

As noted on the home page, this website is changing from my judge's perspective to a retiree perspective. Content relative to the court has been, and is being, removed.  Future posts will be of a general nature on subjects yet to be determined. Target date for non-judicial content is January 1, 2021. On that date, I will become a retired judge, and my Georgia Bar membership will become inactive.
