Judge Stephen Dillard

The final tally. Thank you, Georgia!

@JudgeDillard @SamfordU @NDLaw @JusticeWillett I know I’m supposed to be focused on the apocalypse, but this is awesome. 👏

@ezraiyoung Thank you!

@JudgeDillard It’s very good.

For those of you who haven’t had a chance to read my article, here are a few sample pages.

Very well said. I recommend the full article.

The most beautiful place on earth: @SamfordU.

@DevlinHodges10 Congratulations, my friend!

💍💪🏼❤️

The Federal Circuit now has an official theme song, complete with music video (unveiled today at their judicial conference). youtu.be/IZjqDzVmTRw?si…

@JudgeMinor @whignewtons Please remind him that the 11th Circuit is headquartered in the great state of Georgia.

@JudgeDillard @whignewtons Based my pick on fact my former boss is Chief Judge. And he is from Alabama.

The gauntlet has been thrown down by the Federal Circuit. @whignewtons, thoughts on theme songs for the other federal circuits? #lawtwitter #appellateX #appellatetwitter #courtsongs

@JudgeMinor @whignewtons No. It’s “Georgia On My Mind,” thank you very much.

@whignewtons And for 11th Circuit, Sweet Home Alabama.

Harsh, but fair.

Timeless words by Justice Sandra Day O’Connor.

I hope all of you have a wonderful and relaxing weekend. And as always, please be good to each other.

@YoungEx20 It stands for Armstrong—my mother’s maiden name.

@JudgeDillard Congratulations Your Honor! 30 years is quite the milestone! If I may ask, what does the A stand for?

It’s truly hard to believe it has been 30 years since I graduated from law school. I will always be grateful for the exemplary education I received from @MC_Law.

Today is the last day for early voting in Georgia. I hope my fellow Georgians will consider voting today or on Election Day (May 19th). And when you go to the polls, please don’t forget to vote in the down-ballot, nonpartisan judicial elections. This is the general election for these important races; and unless there are any runoffs, they’ll be decided on May 19th.

I am closing in on 2,400 downloads. Thank you!

@bluestein Congratulations, my friend!

It’s hard to put into words what this meant to me. Giving the convocation address last Friday for the University of Georgia’s School of Public and International Affairs graduation ceremony was one of the great honors of my life. I spoke about Johnny Isakson’s “six silent secrets” and added a few updates of my own. I talked about the friendships forged at UGA and the values that matter most. Mostly, I spoke about staying grounded, treating people with dignity and remembering that democracy depends on our ability to disagree without losing our humanity. To the SPIA graduates: thank you for letting me share the day with you. The work ahead of you matters — and I have no doubt you’re ready for it.

@JudgeDillard @SamfordU @NDLaw @JusticeWillett I hope all references to the 2025 Sugar Bowl are strictly forbidden as a term of the clerkship

@3YearLetterman @SamfordU @NDLaw @JusticeWillett I’ll make sure that happens, Coach. Also, if it makes you feel better, Jessica paid for her waterbed with a stack of crisp one hundred dollar bills.

Let’s go Jessica Smith (@SamfordU and @NDLaw)! Jessica will be clerking for Judge Lisa Branch (CTA11) and then @JusticeWillett (CTA5). I am so proud of her. #TeamDillard
