Nelson Mullins issued the following announcement on Sept. 13.
Atlanta partner Nekia Hackworth Jones has been named a master by the Logan E. Bleckley Inn of Court, which is affiliated with Georgia State University’s College of Law. The Inn also named Atlanta associate Amy B. Cheng as one of 16 barristers. They will both serve a two-year term beginning in September 2018.
A chapter of the American Inns of Court and one of five Inns of Court in Georgia, the Logan E. Bleckley Inn of Court is an organization of Atlanta-area trial lawyers and judges dedicated to the promotion of ethics and professionalism in trial practice. Membership to the Bleckley Inn of Court is limited and by invitation only.
The Bleckley Inn consists of three groups: Masters include accomplished judges and trial lawyers, barristers are promising trial lawyers with four to six years of experience, and pupils who show outstanding work as third-year students from Georgia State University’s College of Law. The Bleckley Inn presents six programs for its members each year on current litigation topics and runs a mentoring program for its barristers and pupils.
“I am excited about the opportunity to collaborate with and learn from Atlanta’s legal luminaries in the Bleckley Inn,” said Hackworth Jones. “Being included in this prestigious group is both an honor and a privilege.”
“It is an honor to be asked to join the Logan E. Bleckley Inn of Court, and I look forward to discussing and promoting matters important to the Atlanta legal community,” said Cheng.
