Wednesday was Georgia Supreme Court Chief Justice Harold Melton’s last day on the job.
Melton said he’s signed on with a national law firm, Troutman Pepper, and will be based in its Atlanta office handling business litigation cases. His first day is July 19. It’s a firm known for litigating high-stakes commercial lawsuits in federal, state and appellate courts.
WABE’s “All Things Considered” host Jim Burress spoke to Melton back in February, a few days after he made the decision to leave the position early.
Now, Burress checked in with Melton on his last day.
After 16 years working on the state’s highest court, Melton weighed in on being the only Black judge currently serving and the apportionment versus election process moving forward.
