The Georgia Supreme Court announced Tuesday it has unanimously elected Presiding Justice Harold Melton to succeed Chief Justice P. Harris Hines, who plans to retire Aug. 31.
The two justices have served in their current roles since January 2017. The typical four-year term has been cut short by the upcoming 75th birthday for Hines. Georgia appellate judges are required to retire before the month they turn 75 or forfeit their pensions.
