The Supreme Court of Georgia’s four female justices, Verda Colvin, Shawn Ellen LaGrua, Carla Wong McMillian and Sarah Hawkins Warren, swapped war stories and advice at a leadership event hosted by Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton in Atlanta on Wednesday.
The justices discussed advice for the campaign trail, how being part of a minority group has informed their professional decisions and a look into the dynamics between the justices when they’re writing their opinions—for instance, sometimes they help write each other’s dissents, even those they disagree with.
