Meet Judge Patricia Barron

Judge Patricia Barron is a native of Atlanta, Georgia. She grew up in Atlanta during the end of the turbulent civil rights era. She decided at age 12 to become a lawyer. That revelation occurred during social studies classes in an all Black Atlanta public school. Upon desegregation, she was transferred to an integrated high school in the 11th grade. Judge Barron is a 1972 graduate of George High School, attaining the second highest grade point average in her graduating class. She is a graduate of Mercer University in Macon, Georgia, and Georgetown University Law Center in Washington, D.C. Once a resident of the public housing projects in southwest Atlanta, Judge Barron grew up to become a lawyer, law professor and judge. She is an inspiration to anyone who comes from humble beginnings and wants to dedicate their lives to serving humanity.Barron, Patricia is the author of 'Meet Judge Patricia Barron', published 2006 under ISBN 9781598583014 and ISBN 1598583018.
