U.S. District Court Chief Judge Julie E. Carnes of the Northern District of Georgia recently tried an experiment.
She came down from the bench and, in her judicial robes, sat down at the defense table next to a defendant on supervised release.
On Jan. 1, Judge Julie Carnes became the chief judge of the Northern District of Georgia. She has been a federal judge for 16 years, and came to the bench as a career prosecutor in Atlanta who had served as appellate chief under three U.S. Attorneys, and for six years as a member of the U.S. Sentencing Commission. Carnes remembers, as a child, going door-to-door campaigning for her father, Charles L. Carnes -- a former Georgia legislator and, for years, the chief judge of the Fulton County State Court.
