Chief Justice's Commission on Professionalism

This #TipTuesday we highlight an excerpt from A Lawyers Creed and the Aspirational Statement on Professionalism!

One tenet of A Lawyers Creed and the Aspirational Statement on Professionalism reads To the public and our systems of justice, I offer service. This #MLKDay CJCPGA wants to highlight a well-known quote from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s sermon, The Drum Major Instinct regarding service.

Meet @CJCPGA’S newest liaison to the Commission, Damon Elmore. Elmore became the Executive Director of the State Bar of Georgia on January 4, 2021. He is an alumnus @EmoryLaw. #MeetaMember
