The Georgia Supreme Court Chief Justice’s Commission on Professionalism has announced the appointment of three new members.
The commission also has a new chairman: Chief Justice Harold Melton, sworn in to lead the court Sept. 4. The Chief Justice’s Commission on Professionalism was the first organization of its kind in the country. The Georgia Supreme Court created it in 1989 with the primary charge of enhancing professionalism among Georgia’s lawyers. The commission provides continuing education and mentoring to members of the bar. It is composed of representatives of the practicing bar, judiciary, law schools and the public.
