More than 14 months after state lawmakers approved a fifth Clayton County State Court judgeship, to tackle a massive caseload, Gov. Sonny Perdue has appointed Aaron Mason to the post.
Mason, 40, who serves as a Senior Assistant Attorney General for the state of Georgia, will join State Court judges Harold G. Benefield, Linda S. Cowen, John C. Carbo, and Morris E. Braswell in addressing the more than 50,000 cases the court adjudicates annually. The judgeship was created during the state's 2009 legislative session.
