State supreme court judicial selection in Georgia

See also: Judicial selection in Georgia

The nine justices on the Georgia Supreme Court are chosen by popular vote in nonpartisan elections. They serve six-year terms, after which they must run for re-election if they wish to retain their seats.[3]

Qualifications

To serve on this court, a judge must be:

  • a resident of Georgia; and
  • admitted to practice law for at least seven years.[3]

Chief justice

The chief justice is selected by peer vote and serves in that capacity for four years.[3]

Vacancies

See also: How vacancies are filled in state supreme courts

If a vacancy appears on the court, the position is filled by assisted appointment. The governor chooses an appointee from a list of qualified candidates compiled by the judicial nominating commission. As of March 2023, the judicial nominating commission consisted of 35 members, each appointed by the governor. For each court vacancy, the commission recommends candidates, but the governor is not bound to the commission's choices and may choose to appoint a judge not found on the list.[4] If appointed, an interim judge must run in the next general election held at least six months after the appointment, and, if confirmed by voters, he or she may finish the rest of the predecessor's term.[3][5][6]

The map below highlights how vacancies are filled in state supreme courts across the country.
