Cobb County Superior Court’s newest addition, the Honorable Sonja N. Brown, took the bench for the first time this past January, 2023. From the get-go she has had the benefit of experience from her veteran staff attorney Matthew Freedman, who served her predecessor, now Senior Judge, Robert E. Flournoy, III, for many years. While Judge Brown appears to be benefitting from the continued employment of Judge Flournoy's former staff, perhaps the Cobb County taxpayers should be weary of her selection.

Whether Cobb's latest member to the Superior Court family of judges has the strength to exercise independent judgment in the face of internal and political influences is yet to be determined. Though, it is fair to say that The People of Cobb County can't take solace with Judge Sonja Brown's selection of a staff attorney.
