City Court Status Argued In Supreme Court
Arguments were heard in the Georgia Supreme Court on whether the high court can hear writs of error from Atlanta city courts. Rosser and colleagues urged the present city court status and its inherent right to review, while noting the 1891 act did not create an independent court. The bar debated constitutional limits, jurisdiction, and the role of the criminal court versus the city court amid legislative changes and historic precedents.
