September 8, 1997

Dear Ms. Caruso:

Thank you for your letter of September 3, 1997, expressing interest in employment opportunities at the Court of Appeals of Georgia. Currently, to my knowledge, there are no openings for staff attorneys on the Court of Appeals.

If you have an interest in working as a staff attorney with the Court of Appeals, I would suggest that you write each judge individually sending a letter expressing your interest, a copy of your resume and a writing sample if you wish to do so. The judges on the Court of Appeals hire their own staff attorneys. Often, a vacancy will occur in a judge's office and a replacement will be hired before I become aware of the vacancy. Presiding Judge Marion T. Pope, Jr., in addition to hiring staff attorneys for his office, also hires staff attorneys for the central staff and floating staff attorneys. There are five central staff attorney positions and three floating staff attorney positions.

I have enclosed a copy of our Court History. This lists the current judges on the Court of Appeals. If you wish to write them, you may do so at the above letterhead address.

If you would like to discuss employment opportunities with the Court of Appeals in greater detail, please give me a call and I shall be happy to set up an appointment.

Sincerely,

William L. Martin, III

Administrator/Clerk

Court of Appeals of Georgia
