What type of cases does the Superior Court NOT handle?

The Superior Court in Georgia primarily deals with significant civil and criminal cases, including family law matters such as divorce and child custody. Traffic cases, however, generally fall under the jurisdiction of the State and Municipal Courts, as they are considered lesser offenses and typically handle misdemeanor cases, including traffic violations.

This distinction helps streamline the judicial process by allowing the Superior Court to focus on more complex matters that require a higher level of legal authority and consideration, while traffic cases are managed by courts designed to handle a larger volume of less severe offenses more efficiently.
