Courts in multiple Georgia Counties are collaborating to simplify civil e-filing in the state, and eFileGA provides one location for attorneys and courts to search for existing cases across counties. The system streamlines the filing processes and eliminates the need to file paper documents at the clerk's counter.
Interested parties can obtain copies of a transcript by submitting a request to the court reporter. Requests must contain specific information to assist with the search, such as the date of the case, the judge presiding at the case, and the case number.
Filing is mandatory for all eviction/dispossessory cases. The person(s) filing the eviction must complete a Dispossessory Proceeding form. The Plaintiff(s) must list the tenant's name(s), address, and the reason for eviction.
The trial begins with the opening statement of the party with the burden of proof. This is the party that brought the case to court--the government in a criminal prosecution or the plaintiff in a civil case--and has to prove its case in order to prevail. The defense lawyer follows with his or her opening statement.
Pro se filers have the option to either e-file or to print their documents and file them in person or by mail with the Court Clerk's office. With e-filing, the filer uploads PDFs of their legal documents to the e-filing system using a phone or computer.
