Aten, Judge Phinia; distinguish service and judicial leadership; commend

It formally commends Judge Phinia Aten for her service as Chief Judge of Rockdale County's Magistrate Court and her leadership in the Rockdale Judicial Circuit. The resolution recognizes her historic role as the first African American woman judge in her circuit, her community engagement efforts, and her work on programs that reduced recidivism.
