Georgia Court of Appeals Chief Judge Stephen Dillard, known for his active Twitter account,  talks about role models, himself as a young lawyer and his hopes for others in the Georgia Bar Journal’s latest issue.

Jake Daly of Freeman Mathis & Gary interviewed Dillard and put together an article on their conversation. Out of respect for a preference Dillard passionately defends on #appellatetwitter, the journal suspended its normal AP style and used the Oxford comma. Dillard also touches on what he misses about practicing law—trials, colleagues and writing “from scratch”—and devotion to his alma mater, Samford University, where he met his wife of 25 years.
