Recently retired former Chief Judge Gary Andrews of the Georgia Court of Appeals did something unusual from the bench Thursday. He talked.
In his 28 years on that bench, Andrews was known for silence, rarely uttering a word, let alone a question. When asked recently in a panel discussion at a State Bar of Georgia event if judges ever show off for the cameras, now that oral arguments are shown live on the internet, Chief Judge Stephen Dillard got a big laugh when he answered: “Gary Andrews is notorious.”
