The next participant in our “Questions for the Bench” series is Judge Elizabeth Gobeil of the Georgia Court of Appeals.

Number of years on the bench: Over six years. From 2012 until the middle of last year, I was director and appellate division judge for the State Board of Workers’ Compensation. In June of 2018, Gov. Nathan Deal appointed me to the Court of Appeals (to the seat vacated by Judge Elizabeth “Lisa” Branch when the president appointed her to the Eleventh Circuit Federal Court of Appeals).
