The Supreme Court seeks to improve the quality of justice in Georgia by identifying and eliminating bias in the courts. The Georgia Commission on Equality has been heralded as one of the best in the nation for its commitment to educating the judiciary, attorneys and court personnel on the ways in which bias affects the provision of access and fairness for all participants in the Georgia judicial system.
Language is the most powerful tool in the courtroom.
If our courts are to dispense justice fairly and impartially, they must do so in an atmosphere that is free of all forms and shades of prejudice. In order for the legal community to gain and maintain the respect of the public, all people must be treated with dignity and respect at every level of the legal process. I urge all to adhere to the principle that there is no place for discrimination in any form in our judicial system. Please read this guide and share it with others. By working together, we can ensure that bias is eliminated and equality is achieved in our courts.
