Dear Editor: On behalf of the State Bar of Georgia, I wish to congratulate District Attorney W. Kendall Wynne Jr. on his appointment by Gov. Sonny Perdue as Superior Court Judge in the Alcovy Judicial Circuit, covering Newton and Walton counties.

Judge Wynne has been active in the legal profession in Georgia since 1987 and brings to the bench eight years of service as District Attorney, following 12 years as assistant district attorney and prior experience in private law practice. He is a past president of the District Attorneys’ Association of Georgia and a former president of the Alcovy Bar Association.

Georgia’s Superior Court judges fulfill a vital responsibility in the administration of justice in our state. We wish Judge Wynne well in his new position of public service.

Bryan M. Cavan

President

State Bar of Georgia
