In Georgia, the Superior Court is the general jurisdiction trial court which has exclusive, constitutional authority to preside over felony criminal cases and cases regarding title to land, divorce, equity, declaratory judgments, habeas corpus, mandamus, quo warrants, prohibition and adoptions. The Court also exercises appellate jurisdiction from judgments of the probate and magistrate courts and provides general supervision of the juvenile court.
The Conasauga Judicial Circuit is comprised
of two counties: Murray (County Seat: Chatsworth) and Whitfield (County
Seat: Dalton). These counties are located in Northwest
Georgia and have a combined population of over 100,000. Four judges preside
in the circuit and each is elected to a four year term. They preside
over jury trials, rule on evidence, hear motions and render verdicts
in bench trials in each county. The Court also provides a variety of
programs which are managed
by the Court Administrator.
