Aug 1981 - Apr 1989
I covered federal courts; after a year's sabbatical for a fellowship at Yale Law School, I produced a six-part series entitled "Rural Justice" which highlighted inequities based on race and income in rural Georgia judicial circuits. It was a finalist for the 1988 Pulitzer Prize in investigative reporting.
