After receiving the Ben F.

Johnson Jr. Public Service Award in 2025, GJP’s Executive Director, Doug Ammar, returned this year to celebrate a longtime friend and partner, former Chief Justice Harold Melton, as he received the 2026 honor from Georgia State University College of Law. Justice Melton has been a dedicated volunteer and partner to Georgia Justice Project for many years. Also pictured are Kimberly Melton, a former GJP volunteer and board member, and M. Brian Blake, President of Georgia State University. We’re grateful for leaders who continue to support and advance this work.
