On behalf of the State Bar of Georgia, I would like to express condolences to the family, colleagues and many friends of longtime Atlanta attorney and community leader Joseph R. Bankoff after his passing at the age of 78.
After his admission to the Georgia Bar in 1972, Mr. Bankoff began his legal career at the King & Spalding law firm, where he would work for 34 years. He focused his law practice in the early years on media and First Amendment law, representing news networks, major national newspapers and other outlets in various types of cases, one of which resulted in a successful U.S. Supreme Court decision in 1975.
