The Georgia Supreme Court is set to honor a former justice with the unveiling of his portrait in the courtroom.
Former Justice G. Conley Ingram served on the state's highest court from 1973 to 1977. He then spent years in private practice and now serves as a senior judge on the Cobb County Superior Court.
