Law reviews.

- For note, "Perdue v. Baker: Who Has the Ultimate Power over Litigation on Behalf of the State of Georgia - the Governor or the Attorney General?," see 21 Ga. St. U.L. Rev. 751 (2005).

JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Litigation over legislative reapportionment.

- As neither the Governor nor the Attorney General of Georgia had the exclusive power to decide the state's interest in litigation, the trial court properly refused the Governor's request to compel the Attorney General to dismiss an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court filed on behalf of Georgia in a case involving legislative reapportionment under the Voting Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Perdue v. Baker, 277 Ga. 1, 586 S.E.2d 606 (2003).
