Supreme Court of Georgia, State supreme court in Atlanta, United States
The Supreme Court of Georgia operates from the Nathan Deal Judicial Center, a large building housing about 215,000 square feet at 330 Capitol Avenue in Atlanta. The building serves as the seat for the state's nine justices and processes all cases heard before this highest court.
The court was founded in 1845, beginning with three members elected by the state legislature. Over time, constitutional amendments expanded it to nine justices by 2017.
The public gallery here gives visitors a chance to watch oral arguments and see how the court operates in real time. This openness reflects the role courts play in public life across the state.
The offices are open Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, handling case filings and records. Visitors should check ahead to see when oral arguments are scheduled to plan a meaningful visit.
The justices are chosen through public election for six-year terms rather than appointed from above. Open positions between elections are filled by the Governor until voters choose a replacement.
