In a recent development, a Douglas County probate judge may be facing removal from the bench. This recommendation came from a three-member panel of Georgia’s Judicial Qualifications Commission. The judge’s potential dismissal is attributed to allegations of her transgressing the state’s Code of Judicial Conduct on social media. Additionally, it was reported that she incarcerated a woman who was seeking to amend her marriage record.
Whether the probate judge will indeed be taken off the bench or retain her position, remains to be seen. As we await further developments, legal professionals and those interested can find more information in the original Law360 article.
