Supreme Court of Georgia Chief Justice Michael P. Boggs will resign from the Supreme Court of Georgia effective March 31, 2025, the last day of the Court’s current term.
He plans to return to private practice in south Georgia.
In his hand-delivered letter of resignation to Gov. Brian Kemp, Chief Justice Boggs noted his 25 years in elective office, including more than two decades of service as a judge at various state court levels.
“Throughout my service, I have endeavored to be a good steward of the public’s trust,” Boggs wrote. “During my 21 years as a judge, I have found it especially rewarding to contribute to efforts that improve our state’s judicial system for the citizens who rely on it to deliver justice for all.”
Boggs was appointed to the Supreme Court by then-Gov. Nathan Deal in December 2016. He was reelected to the bench in 2018 and 2024 and became chief justice in July 2022.
Republican Gov. Brian Kemp will appoint a new Justice to fill his seat, and the Court will select its next Chief Justice.
