JUVENILE Juvenile Court Caseload
Juvenile court reporting is voluntary, therefore, reporting is not complete. The number of courts and the specific ones reporting affects the data displayed each year.
In 2000, 128 of 159 courts reported caseload, compared to 146 of 159 courts reported in 1999.
Filings decreased from 125,234 (1999) to 118,765 (2000). This decrease is probably due to a smaller number of courts that reported.
Delinquent cases (49%) are the majority of juvenile court filings.

SELECTED COUNTY CHARGE DATA 2000
January 2002 -- AOC Research Review -- 9
Nineteen counties provided more specific information about the charges filed in their courts in calendar year 2000: Bartow, Camden, Chatham, Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, Coweta, Dawson, Dougherty, Fayette, Fulton, Hall, Henry Murray, Newton, Troup, Walton, Ware, and Whitfield.
These counties represent 37% of the state 2000 population and had 66,926 charges filed during the year. Delinquent drug related charges represented 3.9% of these charges, deprived 12.6%, and unruly 8.5%.

The type and number of charges making up these three categories is shown in the following charts and tables. In some instances, counties did not provide information about the subcategories so there is an "other" or "unspecified" category in the chart or table. For instance, one court did not provide information about truancy and three courts did not provide information about ungovernable charges, so these types of cases are included in the "other" or "unspecified" cases for those counties. For deprived cases, several courts did not separate abused, abandoned, and without parental or guardian's control charges. In drug cases, a large number of the cases were identified as VGCSA (violation of the Georgia Controlled Substances Act) without further detail as to the type of offense.

PROBATE Probate Court Caseload
Reporting is dependent on voluntary submission of information by the court.
Probate civil filings decreased from 32,159 (1999) to 31,936 (2000). This decrease is most likely due to a decrease in the percentage of counties reporting. Sixty percent of counties reported in 2000 compared to 62% in 1999.
Ninety-two probate courts have criminal case jurisdiction. In 2000, 52% of counties handling probate criminal cases reported filings compared to 47% in 1999.
In 2000, probate filings were 43% of all civil filings.
