Stacey Jackson
Former Presiding Member of the PAQC Hearing Panel
Stacey Jackson, a distinguished former District Attorney for the Chattahoochee Circuit in Georgia, passed away in May 2024. His legacy as a dedicated public servant and skilled legal professional will continue to inspire generations to come.
Born and raised in rural Harris County, Georgia, Jackson’s upbringing instilled in him a strong work ethic and a deep respect for the law. Inspired by television shows like L.A.

Jackson’s legal career was marked by his commitment to justice and his exceptional courtroom skills. As a prosecutor, he was known for his thorough preparation, sharp legal arguments, and unwavering dedication to protecting the community. His expertise and reputation led him to be selected as Presiding Member of the hearing committee for the newly formed Prosecuting Attorneys Qualifications Commission.
In addition to his professional accomplishments, Jackson was a beloved father and a respected member of the legal community. His passing has left a profound void– not least in the PAQC– and his memory will be cherished by all who knew him.
