Fulton County Superior Court Chief Judge Robert McBurney said the results of a survey circulated a few months ago aimed at gauging the legal community's assessment of the court's Family Division shows some improvements can be made but that there is broad support for maintaining the court as a separate division.
"It was very helpful; we had over 200 responses," said McBurney. "There was lots of good constructive criticism on ways to make it work better. But the majority view was, 'Please try to fix it; don't abolish it.'"
News of the online survey spurred alarm in some quarters after it was provided to members of the family law sections of the State Bar of Georgia and the Atlanta Bar Association at the request of the superior court bench.
