The Georgia Supreme Court took criticism for its lack of diversity, even with its expansion last year from seven to nine justices, during a discussion at the annual bar media conference Friday.

Former Chief Justice Leah Ward Sears, now a partner with Smith, Gambrell & Russell, took issue with the look-alike nature of Gov. Nathan Deal’s appointments to the state’s highest court while speaking on a panel addressing the judicial system at the State Bar of Georgia. Of the three new justices Deal placed on the court a year ago—one replacement and two expansions—all are white. Two of the three are men.
