Chief Magistrate speaks with SWG Chamber

Chief Magistrate Court Judge Kristina Hammer Blum spoke with members of the Southwest Gwinnett Chamber Friday, April 14, at the Hilton in Peachtree Corners about Project RESET, and other accomplishments in the Gwinnett County court system.

There were some court processes that were modified during Covid that proved to be worth keeping. With collaboration from the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, grants professionals and others, the Magistrate Court built a program that enabled people who had lost their jobs or suffered some other financial loss to stay in their homes. It also enabled local landlords from suffering losses that could have resulted in them selling their properties to large conglomerates with no interest in the community.
