Formed in 1990 - 1991 by Hon. Edward H. Johnson, the Judicial Section provides various programs and benefits for its members. The Section’s goal is to assist judges in the performance of their judicial responsibilities to the end that the people of Georgia are better served through their judicial branch of government.  

This section is open to judges only.

The annual dues of $35 to become a member of the Atlanta Bar Association Judicial Section is a bargain.
