Judicial Power Clash Over Georgia Act in 1815
The Georgia Supreme Court voices strong opposition to a legislative act claiming to curb civil and criminal processes. It argues the measure subverts the Constitution by erasing judicial powers and upsets equality of rights, warning it could neuter the judiciary and empower lawmakers. The decision covers sections restricting civil suits for soldiers and voids in the seventh section. Justice statements from Walker and McPherson with Serrien and Gresham concur.
