About Us...
The Administrative Office of the Courts was established by the Georgia General Assembly in 1973 to provide administrative support to judges and court officials. The AOC provides assistance to courts in ways that range from analyzing data or certifying court reporters to promoting court automation.
The AOC reports to the Judicial Council; a 24-member body chaired by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court with representation from the Court of Appeals, Superior, State, Juvenile, Probate and Magistrate courts. Georgia’s 10 superior court district administrative judges are also members.
The head of the AOC is Marla S. Moore, Director. The Director serves as a direct liaison between the AOC, the Judicial Council the General Assembly and other state agencies.
