Rules for misdemeanor citations and interpreters, along with electing a new member of the Board of Court Reporting, will be on the table when the Judicial Council of Georgia gathers at 10 a.m. Friday in the James H. “Sloppy” Floyd Building across the street from the state Capitol.
The council announced the agenda Wednesday. Plans include budget review as well as reports and actions from some of the standing committees, including Criminal Justice Reform, Court Reporting Matters and the Commission on Interpreters. The Committee on Criminal Justice Reform will be requesting approval of amendments made to the Rules for Use of Uniform Misdemeanor Citation, Accusation and Summons. The Commission on Interpreters will present for approval the final version of its Model Administrative Protocol. The Court Reporting Matters Committee will make a recommendation to fill the open seat on Board of Court Reporting.
One candidate has been nominated by the state bar to fill the opening on the Board of Court Reporting: Fredric “Rick” Bold Jr. of Bondurant Mixson & Elmore. Bold handles complex, high-stakes trial, and appellate business litigation, specializing in contract, fraud and business tort matters, according to a bio in the agenda. Before joining the firm, he worked as a law clerk to Judge J.L. Edmondson on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. He received his law degree, magna cum laude, from the University of Pennsylvania Law School, where he served as an editor of the Law Review and as president of the Federalist Society. Before law school, Bold worked as an investment banking analyst in the Healthcare Corporate Finance Group at Wachovia Securities. He received his undergraduate degree in politics and economics, magna cum laude, from Davidson College. He also earned a Master of Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary.
