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. |
Every county
has four local elected officials whose positions are created by the State
Constitution. These are the sheriff, probate judge, tax commissioner and clerk
of superior court. These positions have four year terms and the person holding
the office is responsible for performing the duties of that office as set forth
by the official code of the State of Georgia.
Each county's
growth rate is the driving influence in measuring the workload of the court
system. As an example, since 1985 Cobb County Clerk's office has filed more
cases and real estate records that were filed in the previous 152 years of
service.
It is the goal of Cobb County Superior Court Clerk, Jay C. Stephenson, to
maintain an efficient updated website as a public service to the community. Mr.
Stephenson has been recognized locally and nationally as a leader in this
endeavor.
