In his second opportunity to appoint a justice to the state Supreme Court, Gov. Sonny Perdue picked David E. G. Nahmias, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia.
Nahmias, a 44-year-old Atlanta native, was selected from a group of nine candidates submitted to Perdue in June by the Judicial Nominating Commission, following the group’s vetting of 38 candidates who were nominated by the public. The seat became open when Chief Justice Leah Ward Sears stepped down from the court in June. Perdue appointed Justice Harold D. Melton to the high court in 2005.
