Stone Mountain, Ga. – The State Bar of Georgia's Child Protection & Advocacy Section, chaired by Northeastern Judicial Circuit Chief Assistant Public Defender Nicki Noel Vaughan of Gainesville, received the Section of the Year Award, presented during the Annual Meeting of the State Bar on June 19.

The award honors an outstanding section of the State Bar each year for its members' dedication and service to their areas of law practice and for devoting significant hours of volunteer effort to the profession.

The State Bar has 48 practice sections that serve both the legal profession and the public. These voluntary sections provide newsletters, programs and the chance to exchange ideas with other practitioners.
