Public Policy Practice

Mr. Johnson's public policy practice has included counseling, regulatory and legislative advocacy, and litigation. He participated in the creation of Zoo Atlanta, the Countywide Library System for Fulton County, Ga., and Georgia's first tax allocation districts. He advised Morehouse College in securing the Martin Luther King, Jr. Collection. He has litigated questions related to the regulatory authority of Georgia's Commissioner of Insurance and the Georgia Department of Community Health, the taxing power of local school districts, and the enforcement of the Clean Air Act. His litigated cases have made it possible to vigorously enforce the federal Fair Housing Act, and for courts to consider quality of education when fashioning a remedy for school segregation. He has lectured before a wide variety of bodies, including the U.S. Conference of Mayors, the Georgia Real Property Law Institute, the Association of County Commissioners of Georgia and the Institute for City and County Attorneys. His articles have appeared in a variety of publications, including the Real Estate Finance Journal, Georgia County Government Magazine and the Georgia Municipal Association's Municipal Desk Reference.
