Senior U.S. District Judge William C. O’Kelley died July 6 after a brief battle with cancer at age 87.
ATLANTA — Friends, family and members of the legal community gathered Saturday in Atlanta to honor the life of Senior U.S. District Judge William C. O’Kelley. To former clerk Dustin Marlowe, the judge “essentially directed the careers of at least two generations of lawyers.” “I think he taught us all respect for the law, respect for the court and respect for our adversaries and the parties to the litigation,” he said.
