George T. Smith-an attorney whose career spanned seven decades and included serving Georgia as speaker of the House of Representatives, lieutenant governor, Court of Appeals judge and state Supreme Court justice-died Monday evening. He was 93.
Smith was the only person in the state ever to be elected to all three branches of the government: legislative, executive and judicial. Friends say he never lost his focus on doing the people’s bidding-even in the 18 years since he reached the state’s mandatory retirement age and left the high court to return to private practice.
