Changes in CODR Leadership

Passing the Gavel - From one Dawg to Another!
The Georgia Commission on Dispute Resolution has a new chair after long-serving State Court Judge Charles E. Auslander stepped down. He was appointed to the Commission in 2006 and led as chair since 2012. Judge Auslander- a UGA "Double Dawg"- passed the gavel to Chair-Elect Judge Jane C. Barwick in a ceremony during a February 13 meeting at the University of Georgia's Law School on his home turf: Athens.
Justice Keith R. Blackwell also ushered in the Commission's new members, as appointed by the Supreme Court: Presiding Judge Renata Turner, Ms. Nicole W. Hull, Esq., and Mr. Randall Weiland.
