The Good Judge-ment Podcast
Judge J. Wade Padgett (Georgia Court of Appeals) and retired Superior Court judge Tain Kell (Cobb Judicial Circuit) created this podcast series to provide continuing education and other matters of interest to Georgia judges. Of course, the podcast will hopefully be of interest to lawyers and members of the public as well. Also, we love feedback.
