Three Georgians are among 11 intended federal judge nominees announced by the White House. Tapped Thursday to serve on the bench for the U.S. District Court for the Northern District are: Michael Lawrence Brown, a former federal prosecutor in both Georgia and Florida and now a partner in the Atlanta office of law firm Alston & Bird; and William “Billy” McCrary Ray II, the presiding judge on the Georgia Court of Appeals. “The president has nominated three outstanding Georgians, and I look forward to working with them as they go through the confirmation process in the Senate,” Sen. Johnny Isakson said in a news release.
