The longtime executive director of Georgia’s Institute of Continuing Judicial Education said he plans to retire Dec. 31 after more than three decades designing and directing orientation and continuing education programs for the state’s judges and their staffs.
In an Oct. 7 email, ICJE Executive Director Richard Reaves notified the presidents of the state’s judicial councils—which represent municipal, probate, juvenile, state and superior court judges—of his resignation from the post he has held since October 1982. Reaves announced his intention to retire in a Sept. 30 letter to the chair and vice chair of the ICJE Board of Trustees. “The time has come for me to rewire and redirect energy to interests previously forgone as well as new pursuits still attainable,” he wrote. The job, he added, had been “a singular privilege.”
