OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Section repealed in part.

- Former Code 1933, § 86-701 (see O.C.G.A. § 38-2-276) was in conflict with former Code 1933, § 59-112 (see O.C.G.A. § 15-12-1 (now O.C.G.A. § 15-12-1.1)) and was therefore repealed insofar as it purported to grant specific exemptions from jury duty to members of the organized militia. 1967 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 67-296.
