On behalf of the State Bar of Georgia, I would like to express condolences to the family, colleagues and many friends of longtime Atlanta attorney Mark J. Kadish after his passing at the age of 79.

A member of the Georgia Bar since 1975, Mr. Kadish began his legal career as a captain in the Army Judge Advocate General Corps at Fort McPherson. He served as defense counsel in the 1969 military court martial connected with the My Lai massacre during the Vietnam War. He was defense counsel in several other high-profile cases throughout the U.S.
