Supreme Court of Georgia Chief Justice Michael P. Boggs has issued a declaration of a one-month statewide judicial emergency period extending filing requirements due to the effects of Tropical Cyclone Helene, extending "across the lines of individual circuits such that relief is warranted beyond the scope of local judicial emergency orders."

The nature of this emergency is the continued effects of Helene affecting those who are required to work or practice in Georgia courts. The declaration affects "all courts in the State as it relates to all judicial proceedings, but with relief limited to those cases in which a party or interested person has been affected by Helene and satisfies the condition precedent as provided below."
