About Georgia
Georgia, the Peach State, is located in the southeastern United States. The 2010 U.S. Census Bureau data reports Georgia’s population as 2,609,121. The City of Atlanta, the most populous city in the state, is the state capital of Georgia. More than 100,000 people relocate to Georgia each year, making Georgia among the top 10 fastest growing states in the nation. Many new residents relocate to take advantage of GA’s warm weather, numerous opportunities for higher education, and career opportunities.
Georgia is home to some of the world’s most recognized corporations, including Coca-Cola, CNN, Delta Air Lines, AFLAC Insurance, Newell Rubbermaid, CIBA Vision, Gulfstream Aerospace and Home Depot. These companies, along with many others, provide a wealth of career opportunities for residents and have earned Georgia numerous accolades, such as the Top State for Business 2011.
The Georgia Court System
The Judicial Branch of the State of Georgia consists of courts of limited, general and appellate jurisdiction. The courts of limited jurisdiction, which hear civil cases such as personal injury lawsuits, include magistrate courts, which hear civil suits where the compensation sought is under $15,000, and the state courts of counties, which hear civil cases in addition to misdemeanor criminal cases. The General Assembly creates state courts by local legislation.
The basic trial court in Georgia with general jurisdiction for hearing cases involving state law is the superior court. In superior court, any civil or criminal case may be tried and all felonies must be tried. Superior Courts are organized into 48 judicial circuits.
Georgia’s two major courts of appellate jurisdiction are the Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court. These courts do not try cases, but hear appeals from lower courts.
