The Georgia Supreme Court Applies the Law to You.
The Georgia Supreme Court is the highest court in the State, the court of last resort, and the ultimate arbiter on matters constitutional and on appeal from the lower courts. Importantly, the Georgia Supreme Court also has the right to answer questions of law presented by state and federal appellate courts. The Georgia Supreme Court thus plays a central role in how the laws are interpreted, enforced and applied to you.
A Supreme Court Justice Shapes Policy and Decision-Making.
There are only 7 members of the Georgia Supreme Court, and each one has considerable influence over the direction the Court may choose to take in enforcing enactments of the State Legislature, interpreting prior judicial decisions and when necessary, changing the direction of the law. Your choice for Justice of the Georgia Supreme Court will be critical to the future of our State and your rights.
