The Tenth Judicial Administrative District (JAD) is one of ten such districts created by the Judicial Administration Act of 1976 to provide regional court administration to the superior courts of Georgia (O.C.G.A. §15-5-2). Created along congressional district lines, the JAD's have primarily retained their original boundaries through serveral Congressional district changes.

The JAD is staffed by a District Court Administrator and a District Secretary, an ADR Program Director and staff, and several part-time employees and interns. In addition to his duties within the District, the Administrative Judge serves as a member of the Judicial Council of Georgia, as well as the Executive Committee of the Council of Superior Court Judges.

The Tenth JAD consists of 21 counties divided into six judicial circuits:
