The State Bar of Georgia is the governing body of the legal profession in the State of Georgia, operating under the supervision of the Supreme Court of Georgia. Membership is a condition of admission to practice law in Georgia.
The State Bar was established in 1964 as the successor of the prior voluntary Georgia Bar Association which was founded in 1884.[1] The stated purpose of the State Bar of Georgia is to foster among the members of the Bar of this state the principles of duty and service to the public; to improve the administration of justice; and to advance the science of law.
The Bar's codes of ethics and discipline are enforced by the Supreme Court of Georgia through the State Bar's Office of the General Counsel.
