SECTION UPDATE JUDICIAL By Hon. Maria Golick Chief Judge, State Court of Cobb County Spring Social Earlier this year the Judicial Section was saddened to lose one of our Board Members who passed away unexpectedly, the Honorable Willie Lovett, Jr. of the Juvenile Court of Fulton County. Judge Lovett served on the Juvenile Court since 2013 and was known for his keen intellect and for his commitment to youth. On Thursday May 4th the Judicial Section will be honoring Judge Lovett as well as The Honorable Stephanie Manis at its annual awards luncheon at the Commerce Club. Each year, the Judicial Section awards The Romae Turner Powell Judicial Service Award to a judge who has made outstanding con- tributions to the Judiciary. Presenting introductory remarks regarding our two recipients will be U.S. District Court Judge Mark Cohen and Chief Judge Bradley Boyd of the Fulton Juvenile Court. This year’s luncheon is sponsored by the Litigation and Criminal Law Sections. We invite you to join us in recognizing the public service of these two dedicated jurists.
