Citizens Court Watch Message April 18, 2011

 

 

 

As of February 2011, Fulton County Superior Court has three divisions for felony cases - Complex, Non Complex and Standard. The CourtWatch notices will now list the division of each case. Below there is a chart listing which division each case type is assigned to. However, the recent addition of the Standard division has created several exceptions for burglary and aggravated assault cases charged before February. CourtWatchers should become familiar with the Superior Court divisions. If you have questions about the distinctions between the divisions please contact your Community Prosecutor. A more detailed explanation of the Superior Court division can come directly from your Community Prosecutor during a CourtWatch Mini Training in your community. Contact the CourtWatch coordinator to sign up.
