           RECOGNIZING CHIEF MAGISTRATE JUDGE JENNIFER LEWIS

  (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 Chief 
Magistrate Judge Jennifer Lewis.
  Jennifer has recently been awarded the 2024 Magistrate of the Year 
award from the Georgia Council of Magistrate Judges.
  The magistrate court functions as Georgia's small claims court, which 
allows residents to proceed with a case with or without an attorney.
  Winning this award is a testament to Jennifer's character and it 
shows how seriously she takes her judicial service.
  Like myself, Judge Lewis was a Georgia Bulldog. After school at 
Georgia, she later went to Florida Coastal School of Law. Following her 
education, Judge Lewis started working at the Camden County Magistrate 
Court in 1998.
  In 2008, she was elected as chief magistrate and took office the 
following year. I look forward to witnessing Judge Lewis' future 
accomplishments and thank her for her service.
