On behalf of the State Bar of Georgia, I am writing to congratulate Northeastern Judicial Circuit Superior Court Judge Kathlene F. Gosselin on her appointment by Chief Justice George H. Carley of the Supreme Court of Georgia to serve on the newly formed Accountability Court Funding Committee.

Judge Gosselin will have the opportunity to have a positive, lasting impact on Georgia's justice system through her service on the committee, which is part of the state's efforts to establish drug courts and mental health courts to provide sentencing alternatives for some non-violent offenders.

All Georgia lawyers and judges should appreciate Judge Gosselin's continued commitment to public service as demonstrated by her acceptance of this appointment, which helps promote the cause of justice, uphold the rule of law and protect the rights of all citizens. We wish her well in this new position of statewide leadership.

Robin Frazer Clark
President, State Bar of Georgia
