Jury trials in the state of Georgia, including Newton County, are suspended for the month of January, following an extension of a Declaration of Statewide Judicial Emergency issued by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Georgia recently.
Jury trials scheduled for the week of Jan. 11, 2021 have been cancelled due to the order.
All other scheduled court proceedings are still to be held with a strict adherence to COVID-10 guidelines issued by the Centers for Disease Control.
