I received a lovely handwritten note today from one of my judicial heroes. The last few weeks have been absolutely amazing.
It’s also a good reminder that I need to write more handwritten notes in the new year.

It was just a joy to see @judgedillard.bsky.social receive the Rehnquist Award for Judicial Excellence at tonight’s NCSC dinner. Such a worthy recognition of an exemplary ambassador for the American bench.

It really has been an amazing 15 years. Thank you to Governor Sonny Perdue and the people of Georgia for allowing me to serve them on the Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia. I hope to continue doing so for many years to come.

Fifteen years ago, Gov. Perdue announced my appointment to the Court of Appeals of GA. I’ll always be grateful for the confidence & trust he placed in me with that decision. These have been the most wonderful, challenging, & humbling years of my life. I’m truly blessed to have a vocation I love.
