Gov. Nathan Deal became known for appointing more judges than anyone in Georgia’s history. He gave them all engraved plaques with gavels made by inmates at Georgia prisons. Along with the gifts, he told the judges to remember that everyone has redeemable qualities.

Deal will be expanding on that theme next week in the new 215,000-square-foot, $131 million home for the Georgia Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals. The former governor will appear for a media tour of the newly opened Nathan Deal Judicial Center starting at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, the Supreme Court’s public information officer said Friday. The tour will feature information about the building, including furniture that was made by inmates.
