Georgia Supreme Court Chief Justice David Nahmias plans to focus on the challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic in his first State of the Judiciary address to the General Assembly at 11 a.m. Tuesday.

“His remarks will emphasize how courts of all classes around the state have worked to remain as functional as possible to ensure that citizens have access to justice,” the court’s public information officer said Friday. Nahmias will highlight the use of videoconference technology to conduct some proceedings remotely, creative strategies judges have employed to protect the health of all participants in courtrooms, and how trial courts are “struggling to deal with backlogs of cases caused by pandemic-related constraints.”
