OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Intent.

- Intent of the General Assembly in authorizing the employment of secretaries was to ensure that superior court judges and district attorneys were provided with adequate assistance so they could accomplish their official tasks in an efficient manner without being burdened by clerical problems. 1972 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 72-104.

Code section does not apply to senior judges.

- Ga. L. 1972, p. 617, § 1 (see now O.C.G.A. § 15-6-25) applies only to full-time judges and not to judges emeritus (now senior judges) called upon to preside in a particular case under Ga. L. 1970, p. 204, §§ 1-4 (see now O.C.G.A. § 47-8-64). 1972 Op. Att'y Gen. No. U72-129.

Simultaneous service of judicial secretary.

- A judicial secretary appointed pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 15-6-25 may not simultaneously serve the same court as an official court reporter because such an arrangement would prevent the secretary from complying with O.C.G.A. § 45-10-1 and providing the state with a full day's work for a full day's pay. 2016 Op. Att'y Gen. No. U16-2.
