   GOVERNOR KEMP APPOINTS NEW JUDGES TO SUPERIOR AND STATE COURTS IN 
                                GEORGIA

  (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 the 
newly appointed Georgia State and Superior Court judges. These judges 
are all accomplished attorneys and legal professionals who are stepping 
into vital roles within Georgia's judicial system.
  Among those appointed is a native of Brunswick, Georgia, in my 
district, Steven Blackerby.
  Mr. Blackerby, who was a partner at Brown Readdick, will now serve 
the Superior Court of the Brunswick Judicial Circuit. Mr. Blackerby 
earned his bachelor of arts in English from Emory University and his 
juris doctor with honors from the University of Georgia School of Law, 
where he served on the editorial board of the ``Journal of Intellectual 
Property Law.'' He was also a member of both the Federalist Society and 
the Student Bar Association.
  Mr. Blackerby has devoted more than two decades of his career to a 
wide range of legal matters, with expertise in representing local 
governments and serving as city attorney for multiple municipalities.
  Mr. Blackerby's experience is notable, and he will certainly excel in 
this new position.
