State Supreme Court Chief Justice Barbara Madsen, holding poinsettia, and Justice Susan Owens, right, were in Jefferson County on Wednesday to present a collector’s flag on behalf of retired Justice Thomas Chambers.

The flag is a replica of the one flown in 1815 at the Battle of New Orleans and has ties to President Thomas Jefferson.

Also pictured are Zoe Moore, left, who presented the poinsettia, and Superior Court Clerk Ruth Gordon, background.
