This policy governs the processes, procedures, and methodology used by the Judicial Council when considering requests for additional judgeships and circuit boundary alterations. The Judicial Council recognizes that the addition of a judgeship or circuit boundary alteration is a matter of great gravity and substantial expense to the state’s citizens. Therefore, careful inquiry and deliberate study according to a rigorous methodology will lay the foundation for any recommended changes to circuit judgeships or boundaries.
The Judicial Council acknowledges the National Center for State Courts’ (“NCSC”) subject matter expertise in case processing and workload methodology and its documented best practices for assistance in this policy (see Appendix A).
The Georgia Court Guide on Statistical Reporting is a supplemental publication to the Superior Court Caseload and Workload Policy created to standardize the reporting statistics for Georgia’s trial courts. A copy of the document can be viewed at Georgia Court Guide to Statistical Reporting.
