"The Judge with the Purple Robes" HTS Alum

Posted by Admin On 5:49:00 PM
Michelle Homier is an HTS Alum from the Class of 1999. Homier was elected the first female state court judge in Cherokee County in July 2012 and took office on Jan. 2. She remains committed to the promises of her campaign: offering alternatives in hardship cases where defendants can’t pay legal fines, developing a mental health court for Cherokee County and encouraging substance abuse treatment for first-time DUI offenders.

Just a few months into her term, she’s already made a name for herself: “the judge with the purple robes,” to be exact. (Her vestments were custom made in her favorite color by the wife of a colleague.) But, Homier says, her most important title is one she’s had all along: “Mom.”
