We like to think of the Georgia Legal Awards as the pinnacle of a legal community recognition, but in the case of Chief Judge Stephen Dillard of the Court of Appeals of Georgia, we take a back seat to the people’s representatives.

This year, the Georgia House of Representatives named Dillard the state’s “Twitter laureate.” House Resolution 35 said Dillard “has been using social media to connect with the Georgians he serves, to educate them about the judicial process, and to promote civility, kindness, and compassion.” They made particular note of his standard Friday weekend wishes: “be good to each other.”
