The Georgia Administrative Office of the Courts serves as the administrative arm of the Georgia Judicial Council, a twenty-five-member body responsible for policy decisions affecting the state's courts. Created by the Georgia General Assembly in 1973, the council develops policies aimed at improving and administering the judiciary. The AOC implements these policies through active committee work and its own administrative operations. It is based in Atlanta, Georgia, and functions as a mid-sized state government agency within the administration of justice. Its duties include considering requests for new superior court judgeships and overseeing judicial branch committees and agencies as required by law. In 2023, the office began rolling out the eCourts system, starting with four pilot counties, a development aimed at modernizing court processes.
