Rob Philyaw picked to be Juvenile Court judge
by Louie Brogdon

Hamilton County commissioners on Thursday appointed local attorney Rob Philyaw to succeed Suzanne Bailey as Juvenile Court judge.

In a vote that was expected to take "multiple, multiple ballots," according to Chairman Larry Henry, commissioners were able to eliminate seven of 10 applicants on the first try -- with no public discussion -- by nominating just three people.

Chester Bankston nominated current Juvenile Magistrate Troy McDougal; Tim Boyd nominated Curtis Bowe; and Jim Fields nominated Philyaw.

After that, Commissioners Joe Graham, Marty Haynes, Henry and Fred Skillern got in step with Fields.
