Citing Georgia Appeals Records
Summary
In Georgia, when citing records in appeals, use (RV1, 235) for multiple volumes. A motion to reconsider doesnt return jurisdiction to the appeals court. File within 10 days. For a writ of certiorari to the Georgia Supreme Court, file within 20 days of denial. Notify the lower court. Jurisdiction shifts to the Supreme Court upon filing. If motions are filed before the writ, the lower court retains jurisdiction. Consult legal guidance for specific motions.Full Conversation

- Double-check your citations for consistency and accuracy.
- Ensure the citations match the court's required format.
