Governor Nathan Deal on Wednesday picked the state’s chief appellate lawyer to fill a vacancy on the Georgia Supreme Court.
At age 36, Sarah Hawkins Warren will become the youngest member of the nine-justice court when she's sworn in. She will replace Britt Grant, President Donald Trump's nominee who recently became a judge on the federal appeals court in Atlanta.
Warren was the Governor’s choice from a list of nominees that included State Senate Majority Leader Bill Cowsert, a Republican from Athens.
