Gov. Zell Miller will swear in Carol W. Huntstein Wednesday

(AP) -- Former Gov. Zell Miller, who appointed Carol W. Hunstein to Georgia's Supreme Court, will swear her in as chief justice. 

Hunstein is a former DeKalb County Superior Court judge. Miller tapped her in 1992 to become the second woman to serve on Georgia's Supreme Court. He will swear her in at 11 a.m. Wednesday as chief justice, and also will swear in George H. Carley as the new presiding justice. 

The ceremony will take place in the Supreme Court's courtroom on the sixth floor of the Judicial Building in Atlanta. Outgoing Chief Justice Leah Ward Sears, whose last day on the court is Tuesday, will make the introductions.
