Courthouses of Georgia

Think about the trips you've made to your county courthouse. Jury duty, paying taxes, and recording an important document. Licenses of all kinds. And, once upon a time when this reviewer was a newspaper reporter, covering trials, reviewing court dockets, and scanning crime reports. Courthouses of Georgia is a cooperative editorial publishing venture. In this case that includes the Association County Commissioners of Georgia; noted photographer Greg Newington; attorney and former state legislator Larry Walker; and historian George Justice, with support from the State Bar of Georgia. Given the sometimes bewildering restructuring of county boundaries over 200-plus years, this was no easy task. Justice distills the essence skillfully, weaving in enough facts to establish political and historical bearings. The tourism districts of Georgia are used to organize the presentation. An alphabetical index gives quick access to any county.
