Judge Kenneth (Ken) Bryant Hodges, III (Albany, GA) Judge Hodges took office on January 1, 2019. With deep experience in diverse prac-tice areas, Judge Hodges has served as a prosecutor, defended criminal cases, and been on both sides of a dispute in civil matters. Judge Hodges was elected President of the State Bar of Georgia (2018-2019), the first judge to lead the

organization in its history. He is a member and past President of the Dougherty County Bar Association and has been widely recognized for his legal and civic accomplishments during his more than 27 years as a practicing attorney, including as the recipient of the State Bar's Commitment to Equality Award, the Justice Benham Award for Community Service, and The Eagle Award from the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council for his work on behalf of crime victims. Judge Hodges has been named a Legal Elite, a Super Lawyer, and has served on the board of the Albany Civil Rights Institute. While at the UGA Law School, he participated in a clinical program with a public defender and practiced under the Third Year Student Practice Act. After law school, he clerked and worked for a litigation firm in Atlanta, later returning to Albany as an Assistant District Attorney. In 2015, Ken started his own law firm, based in Albany and Atlanta. Ken and his wife, Melissa, have two children, a dog, and a leopard gecko. An avid pilot, Judge Hodges is commercial, instrument, and multi-engine rated, and enjoys being up in the air.

Jennifer L. Lewis (McDonough, GA) Jen Lewis is the Circuit Public Defender for the Flint Judicial Circuit (Henry County).

Court Attorney and moved to Superior Court in 2009. She has tried all levels of cases and finds Voir Dire to be thrilling! Being a Public Defender is Jen’s calling in life; she is incredibly proud of the work her office does. She has extensive experience with mental health cases and is fluent in Spanish. In addition to her love of trying cases, Jen has a passion for teaching young lawyers our craft. She teaches at Emory Law School’s Kessler-Eidson Trial Techniques Program, as well as GPDC’s TILPP. Finally, Jen is lucky to go home to her husband, two children, two dogs, one fish… and a fantastic collection of shoes!

Justice Melton received a Bachelor of Science degree from Auburn University and his Juris Doctorate from the University of Georgia in 1991.
