Get StartedThe current lack of leadership at the Clerk’s office has adversely impacted the proper functioning of our Superior Court. Hearing schedules have been upended by a 60-day backlog of unprocessed criminal and civil filings documents. Court patrons are not receiving proper notice of hearing schedules, which can result in unnecessary default judgments and bench warrants. Imagine facing a default judgment or bench warrant for a case and you were not notified in a timely manner. These issues, born out of poor management, and an exodus of tenured and competent employees, must be promptly corrected. It is crucial to restore the faith of Cobb County residents in our system of justice.
