Dear Laura:

Thank you for your letter of August 3, 1998 and the enclosed resumè . Currently, I do not have any openings for an administrative assistant, but I shall keep your resumè on file and notify you if any openings do come up.

You may wish to send a copy of your resumè to each judge at the Court of Appeals. As you know, the judges hire their administrative assistants. In most cases, the judge hires the replacement before I know the predecessor is leaving. Also, Anne Barnes won the post on the Court vacated by Presiding Judge Birdsong. It is my understanding that she is accepting resumès for her administrative assistant.

I did not know you left the law department when George left, but I knew I had not seen you around in a while. I assumed that was because of the relocation of many of the offices. I wish you the best of luck in returning to state service and I appreciate your interest in the Court of Appeals.

I have enclosed a copy of our Court History so that you can have the names of the current judges on the Court and some biographical information about them.

Sincerely,

William L. Martin, III

Administrator/Clerk

Court of Appeals of Georgia
