The Georgia state court system is organized into several tiers, primarily consisting of the Supreme Court, the Court of Appeals, and various trial courts. The trial courts include Superior Courts, State Courts, Probate Courts, Magistrate Courts, and Juvenile Courts, each handling specific types of cases. The Supreme Court serves as the highest court, overseeing appeals from the Court of Appeals and certain cases from trial courts. This structure allows for a systematic approach to handling legal matters across the state.
Decisions made by a state appeals court are binding on lower courts within the same state, meaning that trial courts must follow the legal principles established by the appeals court. Additionally, the decisions are typically binding on subsequent cases involving similar facts and legal issues within that jurisdiction. However, these decisions do not bind other state appeals courts or federal courts, as they operate under different jurisdictions and legal precedents.
