Dear Judy:

It was indeed a pleasure to meet you and Chief Judge Bridges in your recent visit to Atlanta and the Court of Appeals of Georgia. It was my privilege to discuss with you and Chief Judge Bridges some of our procedures and the mutual problems of administering appellate courts.

If you have any questions about the internal operations manual or our proposed rules, please do not hesitate to contact me. Hopefully, we will finalize our rules shortly and I will be able to send you a complete copy of the final version.

Thank you for your invitation to Jackson. I would love to come and visit you and your Court someday. I am sure that I can learn many things from you.

Sincerely,

William L. Martin, III

Administrator/Clerk

Court of Appeals of Georgia
