A prosecutor and former Greenberg Traurig conflicts analyst will become the new solicitor general for the State Court of Clayton County.
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp has chosen Charles A. Brooks to succeed Solicitor General Tasha M. Mosley, whose job came open when Kemp picked her as Clayton County Judicial Circuit district attorney following District Attorney Tracy G. Lawson's retirement from public office.
Brooks has served as chief assistant solicitor with Mosley since 2016.
"It was clear from the beginning that Charles Brooks was the right man for this job. Given his experience, the overwhelming support of his community, and his strategic vision for the office, Charles is destined to succeed as solicitor general and make lasting, positive progress on behalf of his constituents in the years ahead," Kemp said in a news release Thursday. "This day is an exciting one for Charles, his family and community, and Bulldawg Nation."
Kemp's devotion to University of Georgia football is well known. Brooks earned his bachelor's degree from Alabama State University, but returned home to the the University of Georgia School of Law to earn his J.D. in 2011.
He has also worked in the Clayton Judicial Circuit District Attorney's Office as an assistant district attorney and with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Office of General Counsel-Departmental Enforcement Center as a legal extern, in addition to his stint with Greenberg Traurig.
In 2014, he went to work for Mosley, prosecuting complex misdemeanor cases, first as senior assistant solicitor general; then as chief assistant solicitor general, advising the solicitor general on office policies and procedures, and supervising attorneys and support staff.
Brooks is a 2012 graduate of Leadership Clayton, graduate of the Atlanta Regional Commission's Leadership Institute, high school mock trial coach, member of 100 Black Men of South Metro Atlanta, member of the Clayton County Bar Association's Executive Board, member of the State Bar of Georgia's Statewide Judicial Evaluation Committee, and 2015 recipient of the Clayton County Bar Association's Community Service Award. He lives in Morrow with his wife and children.
Brooks will fill Mosley's current term and then run for election. He already has a campaign website, where he promises to "expand restorative justice programs and continue to work to reach the youth in the community before they reach the criminal justice system."
