Judge Veronica Higgs Cope: Professional Background and Legal Expertise

Gwinnett County State Court, Department Division S6

Biography

The Hon. Veronica Higgs Cope is a judge for the Gwinnett County State Court in Georgia. She was elected to the bench in 2020.


At the time of her election, Cope had plans to create a Second Chance Teen Court, a program that would allow young adults charged with nonviolent misdemeanor crimes to obtain an education, job training, or trade. She also hoped to expand the State Court’s Mental Health Accountability Program in order to make it more accessible to individuals suffering from mental health issues.


Cope earned a bachelor’s degree in political science and African-American studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1998. She then completed a J.D. at the University of North Carolina School of Law in 2001. Cope was the Symposium Editor for the North Carolina Law Review.


After graduating from law school, Cope entered into private practice, handling business litigation and insurance defense in Downtown Atlanta. Then, in 2010, she opened the Cope Law Firm, where she specialized in criminal law, personal injury law, and sports law.


Her memberships have included the Georgia Association for Women Lawyers (president), the Lawrenceville Kiwanis Club, the Gwinnett County Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., and the Gwinnett Section of the National Council of Negrom Women.


Cope was raised in Tarboro, North Carolina. She was a resident of Grayson, Georgia, at the time of her election.
