Dear Ms. Neal:

Thank you for your letter of October 2, 1997 regarding employment opportunities with the Court of Appeals of Georgia. Please be advised that the judges of the Court of Appeals, individually, hire the staff attorneys who work for them. There are no two-year clerkships as such in the Court of Appeals of Georgia. All staff attorneys are hired for an indefinite period of time and serve at the pleasure of their respective judges.

The Court does have a central staff of attorneys and three floating staff attorneys. If you have an interest in working as a staff attorney for a judge's office, you will need to contact that judge's office directly. Please send a letter expressing interest in working with the Court of Appeals of Georgia along with a current resume and writing sample if you desire. If you are interested in working with the central staff or floating staff attorneys you should contact Presiding Judge Marion T. Pope, Jr., judge in charge of the central and floating staff attorneys.

I have enclosed a copy of our Court History. This will give you the names and biographies of the current judges on the Court. You may write them at the above letterhead address.

Thank you for your interest in the Court of Appeals of Georgia. If you have any questions or would like to discuss employment opportunities with the Court with me in greater detail, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

William L. Martin, III

Administrator/Clerk

Court of Appeals of Georgia
