Georgia Top Court Says Council Part of Judiciary
ATLANTA - The Supreme Court of Georgia has reversed a decision by the Georgia Court of Appeals, ruling that the Judicial Council of Georgia and its Board of Court Reporting are considered part of the judiciary under state law.
The Fulton County case decided Monday stems from a 3-month promotion conducted in 2008 by Brown & Gallo, a company of licensed court reporters.
As part of the promotion, the company offered a $25 gas card for each deposition scheduled during the promotional period.
The Board of Court Reporting initiated an "administrative complaint" against Brown & Gallo for violating the Board's Code of Professional Ethics. Brown and Gallo filed a lawsuit challenging the rule as invalid.
The Supreme Court said a motion to dismiss the lawsuit should have been granted.
