Colleagues and friends have been paying tribute to the career of Georgia Supreme Court Justice Carol Hunstein, who will retire when her current term expires at the end of the year. As a young mother, cancer survivor and amputee in Miami, she became the first college graduate in her family, thanks to a surprise scholarship offer from the state of Florida. After law school, she moved to Atlanta, where she practiced in Decatur before becoming the first woman elected to DeKalb Superior Court. She has served on the Georgia Supreme Court since 1992.
