Georgia High Court To Resume In-Person Oral Arguments

Georgia’s highest court plans to resume in-person hearings after more than a year of remote proceedings during the coronavirus pandemic.

The nine justices of the Georgia Supreme Court will be back in their courtroom in downtown Atlanta for oral arguments starting June 9, Chief Justice Harold Melton announced this week. Oral arguments moved online after Melton first declared a statewide judicial emergency in March 2020.

“Although the Statewide Judicial Emergency remains in place, this is yet another step in our court system’s return to robust court operations,” Melton said in a news release.
