May 18, 2023 -- John Monroe argued a case before the Supreme Court of Georgia today, seeking to reverse a lower court's ruling that judicial immunity and the state constitution prohibit an award of attorney's fees against a probate judge that wrongfully denies a weapons carry license application. The firm represents a client who was denied a weapons carry license and the client successfully obtained a court order requiring the probate judge to issue the license. Even though state law says that a successful plaintiff in such a case shall be entitled to an award of attorney's fees, the trial court denied a motion for fees. The case is Roberts v. Cuthpert and the video of the argument may be viewed here: https://www.gasupreme.us/oa-may-18-2023/
