TITLE 15 COURTS

Section 7. State Courts of Counties, 15-7-1 through 15-7-85.

ARTICLE 5 MUNICIPAL COURT SERVICES

15-7-80. Municipal court services authorized.

The governing authority of any county may contract with the governing authority of any municipality within the county for the county to furnish municipal court services to the municipality as authorized by this article; and the governing authorities of municipalities are likewise authorized to enter into such contracts with county governing authorities.

(Code 1981, §15-7-80, enacted by Ga. L. 1992, p. 1161, § 1.)

JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Judge was not serving in municipal capacity.

- Even though a state court judge had authority to sit as a municipal court judge pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 15-7-80, but was not, in fact, sitting as a municipal judge in the prosecution of a municipal ordinance violation, the judge could not exercise concurrent jurisdiction and authority as a municipal judge, and the prosecutor's failure to introduce the ordinance rendered the evidence insufficient as a matter of law to warrant a conviction. Reed v. State, 229 Ga. App. 817, 495 S.E.2d 313 (1998).
