Gov. Brian Kemp Monday named Sarah Griffie to the Superior Court of the three-county Jefferson-based Piedmont Judicial Circuit, filling a vacancy created by the resignation of Judge Wayne D. McLocklin.
Griffie currently serves as the Chief Assistant District Attorney for the circuit.
She has spent her entire legal career devoted to law enforcement and prosecution in the counties that make up the circuit – Barrow, Jackson, and Banks, according to the announcement from Kemp’s office. She has been Chief Assistant District Attorney since 2016.
She and her husband, Andrew, live in Jefferson with their two daughters.
