Judge Juliette W. Scales and Willie J. Lovett, Jr. have been announced as two new presiding jurists to the Juvenile Court Bench for the Superior Court of Fulton County.
Judge Scales graduated from Washington College of Law in 1987 and has been an Associate Judge at the Fulton County Juvenile Court for 10 years. She has also been a Special Assistant Attorney General in DeKalb County, an Assistant District Attorney in the Atlanta Judicial Circuit, and an Assistant State Attorney in the Tenth Judicial Circuit.
Judge Lovett graduated from Harvard Law School in 1988. Lovett has more than 10 years of private practice experience and has also served in the City of Atlanta Department of Law as an Assistant City Attorney, and the Fulton County Attorney’s Office as a Managing Attorney. Before being assigned to this bench, Lovett was the Director of Fulton County’s Office of the Child Attorney.
The new judges were selected by the Superior Court Bench of Fulton County and will preside over cases involving minors in abuse and neglect, disorderly conduct, delinquency, parental rights, and traffic violations. Previously there were only two presiding positions, but Fulton County recently instated a third position for families and children in Fulton County. They were sworn in on May 21, 2013 where they will be working with the Chief Judge of the Juvenile Court of Fulton County, Judge Bradley Boyd.
Here at the Law Office of Scott Miller we are excited to hear Judge Scales and Judge Lovett will be taking on their new duties for the Fulton County Superior Court. They come to the bench with sterling records of accomplishments, and we trust they will be wise jurists presiding over cases of family offenses and juvenile misdemeanors in Fulton County. We bid them a heartfelt welcome.
