Nolan Dawkins: Circuit Court Judge

Judge Dawkins
He attended Parker-Gray High School until 1963 and is listed among the first African Americans to integrate George Washington High School.  Judge Dawkins graduated from G.W. High School in 1965. He served as the chief judge for Alexandria Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court. His nomination to the Circuit Court was initially stymied due to partisan bickering. However, he persevered and became Alexandria’s first African American Circuit Court Judge.
