Three Georgia members of Congress have introduced a bill to name the federal courthouse in Gainesville after the late U.S. District Judge Sidney Oslin Smith Jr.
Sens. Johnny Isakson and David Perdue, both Republicans, have joined with Rep. Doug Collins, R-Gainesville, in renaming the courthouse after Smith, who was appointed to the federal bench by President Lyndon Johnson in 1965. Smith served as chief judge of the Northern District of Georgia from 1968 until 1974, when he resigned from the bench to return to private practice at Atlanta’s Alston & Bird. Smith died at the age of 88 in 2012.
