Rule 56 Participation of Justices

When the Georgia Supreme Court makes a decision, the written ruling must show exactly what every single Justice did. This means the document will show whether each Justice voted yes or no, did not participate, or was disqualified from the case.

This matters to you because you can see the full picture of how the court reached its decision. You will know if any Justices sat out or were removed from the case, and you can count exactly how many Justices supported the outcome.
