Tusan named deputy chief judge

Judge Gail S. Tusan was named Fulton County’s first deputy chief judge for Superior Court earlier this month.

Tusan will serve a one-year term in the new post and will serve on the court’s executive committee. She also will serve in the absence of the chief judge, act as the judges’ spokeswoman and perform other duties.

Tusan is Superior Court’s most senior judge, with 18 years on the Fulton County bench.
