Dix Qualifies to Run for Rockdale County Probate Court Judge

By eMetro Times | on April 6, 2016 | 0 Comment
eMetro News Featured Rockdale

Caycie DixAttorney Caycie Dix, a native of Rockdale County for over 20 years, has officially announced her candidacy for Rockdale County Probate Court Judge.

Although Probate court has jurisdiction over other ancillary matters such as the issuance of gun licenses, marriage licenses, and guardianship/conservatorships, its primary purpose is to oversee and maintain the integrity in the administration and distribution of assets in an estate. As such, it is vitally important that the Judge, a constitutional officer and overseer of this process, is one who also exhibits integrity, has expertise in the area of probate law, and has the ability to interpret and execute Georgia’s probate laws.

The integrity of this process, of the Court, and of the overseer has been questioned and challenged over the past two years in our county. As the next Probate Judge, I will restore the integrity of this court. I will also provide a variety of tools and resources to assist our citizens in navigating through the complex process of probating an estate. I have the character, the knowledge, and the experience to become the next Probate Court Judge. It is my desire and vision that this court will become one that is readily accessible to our citizens and that has a commitment to educating them about probating estates – a process that we will each encounter at one point or another in life.

BIOGRAPHY

Caycie Divena Dix is a long-time resident and concerned citizen of Rockdale County where she has resided for over 20 years. Attorney Dix graduated in the Top 10% of her class from Rockdale County High School in 1998 and went on to obtain her undergraduate degree in Business Administration from Mercer University in Macon, GA. She obtained her Juris Doctor degree from Thomas M. Cooley Law School in 2007 with a concentration in litigation.

As a result of her leadership and active involvement in a number of organizations such as the 6th Circuit Law Students Division of the American Bar Association, Honor Council, the Student Bar Association, and a host of others, Attorney Dix was bestowed with the school’s highest award, the Thomas M. Cooley Leadership Award, upon her graduation. After completing a two year externship with Judge A. L. Thompson, the former Chief Judge of the Fulton County State Court, Attorney Dix formed the Law Firm of Caycie D. Dix, Esq. in Conyers, GA where she zealously represented clients in the areas of probate, family law, criminal misdemeanors, and civil and business litigation. She is currently employed with the DeKalb County School District as a Hearing Officer and presides over local level administrative hearings in accordance with school law.

Her professional affiliations include being a co-founder and past President of NewRock Legal Society, Georgia Association of Black Women Attorneys, State Bar of Georgia, Georgia Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, and the National Association of Hearing Officers.

Attorney Dix has dedicated her life to being a servant of her community and has held leadership positions in a number of community organizations to include the National Coalition of 100 Black Women-Stone Mountain/Lithonia Chapter, the Board of Directors of the South DeKalb Business Association, the Board of Trustees of Greater New Hope Baptist Church, Rockdale County Board of Elections, Girl Scouts of America – Cherry Blossom Service Unit, and the Stone Mountain/Lithonia Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated.

Her biggest enjoyment in life comes from working with and mentoring young people of all ages. As such, she has devoted countless hours of her time to mentoring young girls, serving as a Girl Scout troop leader, coaching high school mock trial teams, and educating teens about the law.
