Mercer Law Review

Two events of particular importance to Georgia lawyers occurred during the survey period. First, the Supreme Court of Georgia adopted The Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct on June 12, 2000 to become effective January 1, 2001. The basis for the new rules is the American Bar Association ("ABA") Model Rules of Professional Conduct, adopted by the ABA in 1983 to supersede the ABA Model Code of Professional Responsibility. The new code will replace both the Georgia Code of Professional Responsibility and the Standards of the State Bar Rules. Second, the American Law Institute adopted the Restatement of the Law Governing …

In the period covered by this Article, the Georgia Supreme Court considered thirteen death sentences imposed in superior courts following …

Criminal Law, Franklin J. Hogue, Laura D. Hogue

Mercer Law Review

This year we surveyed hundreds of criminal law cases to select those we thought most worthy of inclusion in this survey. We have no doubt that other lawyers practicing criminal law would have included other cases and left out some we included. This is a survey of the vast everchanging landscape of criminal law, and the practitioner may use this article as a starting point for the careful and detailed research that must be done in actual cases.

Mercer Law Review

This Article surveys case law and legislative developments in the area of real property law in Georgia during the period from June 1, 1999, to May 31, 2000.

Rather, the authors selected the decisions and statutes discussed in this Article for their significance and interest to participants in the everyday practice of real estate law in this state. Several cases discussed below revisited issues from recent surveys and enlarged upon or clarified the holdings from those prior cases.

"Garbage In, Garbage Out": The Litigation Implosion Over The Unconstitutional Organization And Jurisdiction Of The City Court Of Atlanta, Edward C. Brewer Iii

Mercer Law Review

The City Court of Atlanta, the primary traffic court for Atlanta, Georgia, has exercised jurisdiction since 1996 over more than one million traffic violations and, since 1988 and under two statutes, some fifty thousand nontraffic misdemeanors. The City Court's first predecessor, the Traffic Court of Atlanta, adjudicated traffic law violations from 1955 to 1967 and was replaced in 1967 by a second court, also known as the City Court, which existed until 1996. That City Court's jurisdiction was expanded in 1988 to include nontraffic misdemeanors arising from the same occurrence as the traffic violation. In 1996 the City Court was …

Evidence, Marc T. Treadwell

Mercer Law Review

Hard cases, it is said, make bad law. Criminal prosecutions for child molestation and abuse are likely the hardest cases of all. Apart from their horrific facts, they present tremendous evidentiary challenges to prosecutors, primarily because of the victims' youth. Consequently, Georgia's appellate courts have repeatedly fashioned new evidentiary rules to assist prosecutors in such cases. Whether these hard cases make bad law no doubt depends on one's perspective. Without question, however, appeals involving child molestation and abuse continue to make new law, and the current survey period was no exception.
