On behalf of the State Bar of Georgia, I wish to express condolences to the family, colleagues and many friends of Gainesville attorney E. Wycliffe “Wyc” Orr on his recent and very untimely passing. Mr. Orr’s distinguished legal career was highlighted by his passionate advocacy on behalf of ensuring adequate representation and access to justice for the indigent through his service as a charter board member of the Georgia Public Defender Standards Council from 2003 through 2011. His efforts earned him the Lifetime Achievement Award, presented earlier this year by the Southern Center for Human Rights.
