Judicial Council of GeorgiaAdministrative Office of the Courts

The Judicial Council of Georgia, based in Atlanta, Georgia, is a governmental body dedicated to enhancing the effectiveness of Georgia's court system. Established in 1945, it consists of 28 members representing all court classifications, including the President of the State Bar of Georgia, who participates as a non-voting member. The council's primary function is to formulate policies aimed at improving court administration. This involves regular meetings throughout the year where members and committees delve into specific areas needing attention. Supporting the council's efforts is the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC), established in 1973. The AOC acts as the administrative arm of the Judicial Council, providing crucial expertise in areas such as policy development, court innovation, legislative matters, and overall court administration. Their work extends to offering guidance and support to all Georgia courts. To connect with the Judicial Council of Georgia, please visit their website at jcaoc.georgiacourts.gov.
