Rule 8.2 Attorneys Serving as Part-time Judges

Part I. General and Administrative Provisions

Rule Text

Judges shall give prompt consideration to resolving scheduling conflicts resulting from an attorney's serving as a part-time judge. The presiding judge should be mindful of the strict time limitations of juvenile proceedings. See, e.g., Georgia Uniform Juvenile Court Rules 6.8, 7.3, and 23.5. However, a continuance by reason of such scheduling conflicts should not be granted in a scheduled Superior Court civil matter involving the safety of a child or the need of a custodial parent for temporary support.

Amendment history: Effective March 3, 2016.
