District Court Judge Hathaway S. Pendergrass
Serving Chatham and Orange Counties
Justice with Dignity
This community is special to me. I grew up in Carrboro and attended public school in Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools. I graduated from UNC with a BS in Business Administration before attending law school at NCCU. I believe the truest expression of love for one’s community is to serve it. Through my lifelong community involvement and experience as an attorney, I’ve formed a judicial philosophy that rests on three key pillars:
Ensuring Equity
in the judicial process
Connecting
with compassion
Serving
the best interests of children and youth
I invite you to read more about me and my philosophies.
