Count on Georgia's courts to interpret laws with the wisdom of Wapner and to dispense justice with the swiftness of Judy. The Georgia Judicial Branch consists of magistrate, probate, county, and juvenile courts, as well as Superior Circuit Courts, Appeals Court, and the Georgia Supreme Court. Magistrate, probate, county and juvenile courts all hold limited jurisdiction, while the bulk of criminal and civil cases are tried in State Superior Court. The State Court of Appeals and the State Supreme Court each hold appellate jurisdiction. Georgia's Supreme Court also provides administrative leadership to the State's Judicial Branch through the Judicial Council and regulates the practice of law in the State.
