During its Summer Meeting in Portland, Oregon, The National Association of Attorneys General awarded the Office of the Attorney General with the “NAAG Best Brief Award.”

"We are very proud of the team that worked on the merits brief in Wilson v. Sellers,” said Attorney General Chris Carr. “Our office takes very seriously our role in upholding the rule of law and protecting the interests of Georgians. In everything we do, we strive for excellence, and this award further underscores the integrity and skill that’s embedded in our process.”

The “NAAG Best Brief Award” is given annually and presented for excellence in brief writing for the Supreme Court of the United States. They recognize that appellate brief writing and oral argument are specialized skills. The awards honor the appellate practitioners in the offices who have shown that their work truly is superb. Winners were selected by a panel of independent U.S. Supreme Court experts, each of whom is a leading member of the Supreme Court bar.

Georgia’s brief was written by Solicitor General Sarah Hawkins Warren and Deputy Solicitor General Andrew Pinson with strong support from Deputy Attorney General for the Capitol Litigation Division Beth Burton and Senior Assistant Attorney General in the Capitol Litigation Division Sabrina Graham.
