It’s day three on the job for new Cobb County Superior Court Judges Julie Adams Jacobs and Vic Reynolds. The former deputy attorney general and Georgia Bureau of Investigations director, respectively, traded their titles for black robes during a swearing-in ceremony performed by Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp on Aug. 15.

Kemp handpicked the pair in June from a shortlist of candidates compiled by the Judicial Nominating Commission of Georgia in April. Now, midway through their first week as superior court judges, both Jacobs and Reynolds are outlining what lawyers can expect in their courtrooms.
