ATLANTA — Criminal justice reform and judicial impartiality in Georgia were urged by prominent officials including U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas at a dedication ceremony for the state’s new court building Tuesday.
Completed last year, the Nathan Deal Judicial Center building sits on six acres in downtown Atlanta, a stone’s throw from the Georgia Capitol.
