This resolution honors the life and legacy of Judge Reuben Green, a distinguished jurist and public servant from Cobb County, Georgia, who passed away after battling cancer. Born in Oregon and raised between Salem and Vinings, Georgia, Green served in the United States Marine Corps and earned a bachelor's degree from Lewis & Clark College and a law degree from Emory University. Throughout his career, he worked as a private attorney, Special Assistant United States Attorney, Assistant District Attorney, and Superior Court Judge, notably establishing the Cobb County Veterans Accountability and Treatment Court to support veterans in the criminal justice system. Green was known for his fairness, integrity, and commitment to justice, and was a devoted family man who, with his wife Heidi, fostered 15 children and adopted a daughter named Hailey. The resolution celebrates his professional achievements, community service, and personal qualities, and expresses condolences to his family, directing the House Clerk to provide an official copy of the resolution to his wife and family as a tribute to his significant contributions to the State of Georgia.
