Dear Ms. Parker:

I am in receipt of your letter of June 9, 1998 with the enclosed employer's survey. Staff attorneys at the Court of Appeals are hired by the individual judges for whom they work or by Presiding Judge Marion T. Pope, Jr. for central staff and floating staff positions.

To serve as a staff attorney on the Court of Appeals of Georgia, the attorney must be a member of the State Bar of Georgia, which would require passage of the State Bar Examination. Generally, staff attorneys with the Court of Appeals of Georgia are attorneys who have some experience practicing law, although this is not always the case.

Applicants for staff attorney positions should contact the judges directly. I would suggest sending a letter expressing interest in working as a staff attorney for the Court of Appeals of Georgia, a current resumè and a writing sample. I have enclosed a copy of the Court History for the Court of Appeals of Georgia which lists the judges. Please note that Presiding Judge A.W. Birdsong died recently. His position will be filled by an election July 21st and the successful candidate will assume office January 1, 1999.

Sincerely,

William L. Martin, III

Administrator/Clerk

Court of Appeals of Georgia
