…and I want Larry to have it too! In fact, I only supported the added 3rd State Court Judge because I felt that Larry would be a great addition to the bench. Remember that I got started in party politics with a desire to run AGAINST Larry for the Solicitor position. I decided that he would do such a great job that I did not run against him. I was right. He has done an outstanding job as solicitor. I feel that he has the proper education, intelligence, personality, and temperament to make a fine judge in any Court. Larry’s personality and dilligence will compliment Judge Gene Roberts’ style.
I encourage each of you to submit a letter supporting Larry to the Judicial Nominating Commission, Michael J. Bowers, Chairman, by mail to 30 Ivan Allen Jr. Blvd., NW, Suite 700, Atlanta, GA 30308, by fax to 1-866-547-3433 or by email to bwatson@balch.com. If you would like, also send a copy of your letter to me. Click on the link to the right to get my contact information.

Larry’s “promotion” would leave his position as Solicitor open. The current Chief Assistant Solicitor-General is Jennifer Scalia, and she is interested in the position. I have worked with her and her husband (a fine law enforcement officer) for years. She appears to be the front-runner for his position with her years of experience working with Larry. Stephanie Woodard (a local attorney and former assistant solicitor from Gwinnett County) and Michelle Rohan (a former Assistant Solicitor under Larry) appear to also be interested. I have heard rumors that Billy Hollingsworth might be interested as well.
