Judge Lark Ingram to Retire from Cobb Superior Court at Year's End

On February 6, 2020, the Marietta Daily Journal published an article announcing the retirement of Judge Lark Ingram from the Superior Court of Cobb County. Among the attorneys that were asked to comment was Cauthorn Nohr Owen’s founder, Tom Cauthorn:

“She is very exacting, and she expects the same thing from those who appear in cases in front of her. But she is always very polite — sometimes to the point that the attorney apologizes to her for being too aggressive,” Cauthorn said, adding that her leadership on the Council of Superior Court Judges of Georgia reflects her colleagues’ regard for her.

Cauthorn said Lark Ingram’s meticulous note-taking and processing of all evidence before any expression of what her ruling might be should serve as a model for judges everywhere.

“I think that’s been the hallmark of her judicial service,” he said. Giving a nod also to her father’s career, Cauthorn called it “very rare” to have two generations from the same family serve the county to such acclaim. “Lark Ingram and Conley have been enormously generous with themselves in terms of their public service, and I applaud them. I think she’s had a wonderful career, and I think we should all be proud that we had an opportunity to watch her serve in the way and manner that she did.”
