Judge Jones worked tirelessly to mend the lives of children and their families whose problems brought them before Fulton County Juvenile Court. In every case over which Judge Jones presided, in his every decision, he always kept the needs—great and small—of the child first. The Judge Jones Memorial Playground Fund at the Juvenile Justice Fund has been established to fulfill his longstanding wish to erect an outdoor play space in the courtyard nestled within the court’s grounds. With help from the community, the plans for a Judge Jones Memorial Playground will become a reality. Upon its completion, through the joy that is expressed in play, Judge Jones’ love for the children the court served will be experienced forever in this space that he cherished. |

In Loving Memory... 
Judge Sanford Jones (1952-2009) |
|
It has only been a short time since our community was devastated and our hearts were forever broken when The Honorable Sanford Jones, our beloved “Sammy” - died tragically in a small plane crash on May 15, 2009. Judge Jones was a kind man, a sharp lawyer, a generous person, a fair judge, and a friend to everyone he met. He began his public service as a government lawyer in 1975 and for the last 34 years, Judge Jones has dedicated his life and professional career to serving our community. His distinguished public service career began as a Law Clerk and ended as a Judge. He was a Marshal, Vice Chief Clerk of Magistrate Court, Magistrate, Court Administrator and Chief Clerk of State Court, District Court Administrator, Superior Court Administrator, Juvenile Court Presiding Judge and at his best as Chief Judge of the Juvenile Court.
