Judge Glenda Hatchett
Judge
Glenda Hatchett, a graduate of Mount Holyoke College and Emory University School of Law,
was Georgia’s first African-American chief presiding judge of a state court and the
department head of one of the largest juvenile court systems in the country. Prior to
joining the bench, Judge Hatchett was a senior attorney and international spokesperson for
Delta Airlines. After her first year on the bench, the National Bar Association’s
local affiliate selected Judge Hatchett as the Outstanding Jurist of the Year for her
innovative leadership in revolutionizing the Fulton County Juvenile Court system with the
public and private partnership initiatives. Recognized nationally as an authority on
juvenile and social issues, Judge Hatchett has appeared on Good Morning America,
McNeil/Lehrer and numerous other television programs. While bringing a refreshing
humanistic perspective to the bench through her commitment to early intervention and
prevention in juvenile justice, Judge Hatchett is also very involved with the community.
She has served on the National Board of Directors for Girls, Inc., and the Board of
Trustees of the Children’s Museum of Atlanta. Judge Hatchett was the Governor’s
appointee to the Georgia Children and Youth Coordinating Council. Additionally, she has
