To the Editor:

On behalf of the State Bar of Georgia, I am writing to extend congratulations to Court of Appeals of Georgia Judge Benjamin A. Land on his appointment by Gov. Brian Kemp to serve as a justice on the Supreme Court of Georgia.

Justice Land will benefit from his more than three decades of experience and distinguished service in as a leader of his local bar, as a Superior Court judge for the Chattahoochee Judicial Circuit from 2018 through 2022 and, for the past three years, as a judge on the Court of Appeals.

A past president of the Chattahoochee Circuit Bar Association, the Columbus Inn of Court and the Columbus Bar Association, Justice Land is also a recipient of the State Bar of Georgia’s William B. Spann Jr. Award for Pro Bono Advocacy.

By accepting this appointment, Justice Land demonstrates his continued commitment to serving the public and the justice system. We wish him well in his new capacity on our state’s highest court.

Sincerely,
 
Christopher P. Twyman
President, State Bar of Georgia
