Colleagues celebrate retiring state justice
Retiring Justice George C. Carlson Jr. was toasted Thursday as “the most agreeable disagreer” on the Mississippi Supreme Court.
The sitting justices each said something about Carlson at a ceremony Thursday afternoon in honor of his 30 years on the bench — 11 of which he spent at the state’s top court.
The 66-year-old Carlson, a Batesville native first appointed to the court in 2001, chose not to run for re-election this year and will be replaced by Josiah Dennis Coleman on Jan. 7.
