Superior Court's Role

Each of Georgia's I59 counties has a Superior Court. This court is the highest level trial court of the state and consists of two elements-judges and superior court clerk.

The judges are responsible for the operation of the court including disposition of the cases.
>  The clerk's office maintains the official records of the court including real estate records.
