Court of Appeals

Atlanta, Georgia 30334

Dear Judge Beasley :

Thank you for your letter of August 18th, and even more importantly, thank you for allowing me to participate in the visit with the judges from Brazil. It is always a pleasure to assist you and represent the Court in sharing our methods with others.

I sincerely believe that the Court of Appeals of Georgia is the best appellate court in the country. This is because of the work ethic and dedication of the judges, staff attorneys, fiscal office, technical services and, last but certainly not least, the efforts of my staff.

Thank you again for inviting me to lunch with our visitors. The sandwiches were delicious Thursday, and I think even better on Friday.

Sincerely,

William L. Martin, III

Administrator/Clerk

Court of Appeals of Georgia
