Welcome to the website of the Supreme Court of Georgia.

Our goal is to provide the bench, bar and general public with timely and accurate information about the Supreme Court and the administration of justice in Georgia.

Opinions are published an average of twice a month. On Fridays at 2 p.m., we will provide on our website a list of any opinions due to come out the following Monday. To get the list, click on Opinions & Summaries at the top of the screen and scroll down to Forthcoming Opinions. A hard copy of the opinions will be mailed to lawyers Monday morning.

CHANGE IN FILING FEE
As of July 1, 2009, fees for filing appeals, applications for appeals and applications for a writ of certiorari will increase from $80 to $300 for all civil cases. That is the day House Bill 283 takes effect, amending OCGA § 5-6-4 and increasing the fees for filings in the Supreme Court of Georgia. The filing fee for criminal cases will remain at $80 as will the fee in habeas corpus cases for persons who are incarcerated. For further information, please see: House Bill 283
