SUPERIOR COURTS Alcovy Circuit— Newton <strong>and</strong> WaltonFor seventy years prior to <strong>the</strong> organization of <strong>the</strong> SupremeCourt, <strong>the</strong> Superior Courts of <strong>the</strong> various counties were <strong>the</strong>highest courts of record in <strong>the</strong> state. At present <strong>the</strong>re are onehundred fifty-nine Superior Courts, grouped into forty-fivecircuits. The Superior Courts have jurisdiction in all cases,except as o<strong>the</strong>rwise provided in <strong>the</strong> Constitution. They haveexclusive jurisdiction over trials in felony cases, except in <strong>the</strong>case of juvenile offenders as provided by law; in cases respectingtitle to l<strong>and</strong>; in divorce cases; <strong>and</strong> in equity cases. The SuperiorCourts have such appellate jurisdiction, ei<strong>the</strong>r alone or bycircuit or district, as provided by law (Constitution of <strong>1983</strong>,Article 6, Section 4, Paragraph 1).The Superior Court judges <strong>and</strong> district attorneys are electedby <strong>the</strong> voters of <strong>the</strong> state at <strong>the</strong> same general elections at whichmembers of <strong>the</strong> General Assembly are elected. The term ofoffice of each is four years (except in <strong>the</strong> Atlanta JudicialCircuit which has eight year terms, Ga. Laws 1956, p. 636),beginning on <strong>the</strong> first day of January following <strong>the</strong> election.Vacancies in unexpired terms are filled by appointments of <strong>the</strong>Governor until successors are elected at <strong>the</strong> next general election. The minimum qualifications for Superior Court judgesare age of thirty years, three years residence in <strong>the</strong> state, <strong>and</strong>seven years of legal practice. District attorneys must be residents of <strong>the</strong> state three years just preceding election orappointment; permanently reside in <strong>the</strong> circuit at <strong>the</strong> time ofelection or appointment; be twenty-five years of age <strong>and</strong> havebeen licensed to practice law in <strong>the</strong> Superior Courts for at leastthree years.Ga.L. 1968, p. 1567 changed <strong>the</strong> title of Solicitor General toDistrict Attorney. Ga. L. 1976, p. 586 (Sec. 38-41) changed <strong>the</strong>title Judge Emeritus to Senior Judge (eff. January 1,1977). TheJudicial Administrative Act (Ga. L. 1976, p. 782) provides forten judicial administrative districts under <strong>the</strong> jurisdiction of <strong>the</strong>Superior Court judges presiding within <strong>the</strong> ten congressionaldistricts of <strong>the</strong> state.Thomas W.
