                    HONORING JUDGE MICHAEL L. KARPF

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Chatham 
County Superior Court Judge Michael L. Karpf for 40 years of 
exceptional service to our area's justice system.
  Judge Karpf has shown an unwavering commitment to fairness and wisdom 
during his tenure as a judge.
  He has served on the Chatham County State court since 1993, where he 
has had an enormous impact. Namely, he created the major crimes 
division, rotating judges and significantly increasing the efficiency 
in our court system.
  His colleagues remember him as a consensus builder who could lead a 
bench that works well together, an oftentimes unique accomplishment.
  Earlier this month, he retired to senior judge status, meaning that 
he will take cases on an as-needed basis.
  I wish Judge Karpf the best of luck and know that the court will be 
in good hands as his son, Benjamin, takes the role his father had as 
superior court judge.
