What gives Georgians confidence that their cases will receive a fair review when they reach the appellate courts?
In this clip, Georgia Court of Appeals Judge Ken Hodges explains why he believes Georgia’s judicial system works better than many partisan court systems around the country.
Although Georgia’s appellate judges may have different backgrounds and perspectives, Judge Hodges says they work collaboratively, avoid personal agendas, and focus on reaching the correct result under the law.
That commitment to fairness, collegiality, and judicial independence is central to maintaining public trust in the courts.
Listen to the complete episode for more details and context on how appellate decisions are made, the workload facing Georgia’s courts, artificial intelligence in legal filings, judicial security, Judge Hodges’ career, and his definition of justice.
