Forsling to step down as Fulton judge
Fulton State Court Judge Susan Forsling has told Gov. Nathan Deal she will resign on July 1.
Forsling, who once served as Fulton’s first female county attorney, said she wants to try something new after more than 15 years on the bench. The most rewarding aspect of her tenure was founding the DUI Court, which helped hundreds of men and women reclaim their lives, she said. Forsling has asked Deal to appoint her as a senior judge so she can help Fulton’s Superior Court with its criminal cases.
