Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Chief Magistrate Judge Jennifer Lewis.

Jennifer has recently been awarded the 2024 Magistrate of the Year award from the Georgia Council of Magistrate Judges.

The magistrate court functions as Georgia's small claims court, which allows residents to proceed with a case with or without an attorney.

Winning this award is a testament to Jennifer's character and it shows how seriously she takes her judicial service.

Like myself, Judge Lewis was a Georgia Bulldog. After school at Georgia, she later went to Florida Coastal School of Law. Following her education, Judge Lewis started working at the Camden County Magistrate Court in 1998.

In 2008, she was elected as chief magistrate and took office the following year. I look forward to witnessing Judge Lewis' future accomplishments and thank her for her service.
