I joined the Daily Report in July, and the 2021 Georgia Legal Awards were scaled down to only a handful of categories due to the fact that there was no gala because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

So with the gala returning this year and the awards going back to their normal number of categories and honorees, I’ve enjoyed the process of selecting volunteer judges who helped judge some of the awards, reading the nominees’ information through our online nominator forms and, the hardest part, choosing the winners.
