Governor Nathan Deal Speaks at State Bar
Governor Nathan Deal spoke about prison reform at the 2013 State Bar Conference held on Hilton Head Island, SC recently. His speech reflected a progressive approach to prison reform that was well received by the delegates.
The seminars were informative, the networking was fun, and the island was beautiful.
See you next year on Amelia Island!
Willie Lovett Sworn in as Juvenile Court Judge
There was no one in the audience happier than me when longtime friend and colleague Willie Lovett was sworn in as a Fulton County Juvenile Court Judge May 21, 2013. Willie and I worked together at the City of Atlanta Law Department and at the Fulton County Attorney’s Office. Most recently, Willie was the director of the office of the Fulton County Juvenile Court Child Advocates.
He is a brilliant jurist, a fun person, and has a strong sense of fair play. I know he will serve the bench with distinction.
Congratulations Judge Willie!
March Madness — Are You on the Team?
We are in the throes of March Madness, and I love every minute of it. It’s exciting, unpredictable and fun! More importantly, the lessons on the court are applicable to our work lives.
Are you part of the team, or are you a ball hog? Are you part of the team, or do you throw your co-workers under the bus? Are you part of the team, or do you seek all the glory?
As you enjoy March Madness, commit to being part of the team.
Newell Named General Counsel For Invest Atlanta
Rosalind Rubens Newell was recently named General Counsel for Invest Atlanta. Before joining Invest Atlanta, Rosalind was Of Counsel at McKenna Long after having served in the City of Atlanta Law Department for many years.
One of Rosalind’s first duties at Invest Atlanta is to make sure our beloved Atlanta Falcons get a new home. She will collaborate with countless bond lawyers, City of Atlanta lawyers, and Falcon lawyers to make sure the deal to build a new stadium comes together. Her work is definitely in the “You Go Girl” category!

Bishop Retires from Cobb County
Dottie Bishop retired from her position as the Cobb County Attorney at the end of 2012. She served 19 years in that position, which is a major accomplishment. The search for her replacement is underway.
Dottie’s knowledge of local government issues was vast, and she was never too busy to share her knowledge with other local government attorneys. She will truly be missed.
Congratulations, Dottie on a superb career and a well-earned rest.
Let’s Pull Together
Many national polls show that most Americans just want our elected officials to get in a room and work something out! I certainly agree with that sentiment. That is why I love mediation.
As you interact with your elected officials, make them understand that you expect solutions — not notches on their belt for petty style points, not ego filled posturing, not long awaited revenge and not self-promotion. Solutions move us forward.
Treating our collective problems like a sporting event is crazy. There are no winners and losers. There is only us.
