Ga. Supreme Court Justice Discusses Scalia, And His Own Future

Georgia Supreme Court Justice David Nahmias, shown with a photo of the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia on the wall behind him, shared memories of his former boss.

One of Georgia’s Supreme Court justices has vivid memories of the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.

David Nahmias clerked for Scalia in the early ’90s.

In a conversation in his chambers at the state Supreme Court, Nahmias remembered Scalia as a demanding, but kind boss, who — for all the controversy surrounding him — tried to get everything right.

Speaking with Denis O’Hayer, Nahmias also reflected on the ways in which Scalia changed the Supreme Court’s decision-making process, and he answered questions about his own future.
