‘A civil servant’: Remembering WABE legal analyst Page Pate

Page Pate, a celebrated Atlanta attorney whose cool, direct demeanor shaped countless stories as WABE’s longtime legal analyst, died this week. He was 55.

On this special edition of “Closer Look,” guests reflect on Pate’s invaluable contributions toward helping the public understand the complexities of legal stories for nearly 15 years on WABE’s airwaves.

“I’m going to miss him,” said Atlanta attorney Gerald Griggs. “Hopefully, we’ll be able to lift him up as an example to lawyers who come behind us that this was what the definition of a civil servant was.”
