The Commission on Equality submits and Annual Report to the Supreme Court of Georgia each fiscal year. The Commission has partnered with the Institute of Continuing Judicial Education in Georgia and the Council of Superior Court Judges to create a training video for bailiffs. The video will provide bailiffs with an orientation to courtroom procedure, a synopsis of daily tasks and responsibilities, and tools for positive interaction with diverse court users. The video will feature a roundtable discussion among bailiffs and judges, commentaries from judges and court personnel, and scenes of bailiffs in courtrooms throughout the state. The Conference focused on developing components to institutionalize gender fairness strategies, expanding judicial education on gender issues, assessing successful implementation strategies, and drafting action plans for each of 14 participating states.
All meetings are open to the public.
