Georgia Superior Courts level is weird #7

Closed anseljh closed 2 years ago

anseljh commented 4 years ago

For the Georgia Superior Courts (gasuperct), the level is weird. Is this correct? It doesn't seem to be. It looks like the correct intermediate appellate court above the Georgia Superior Courts is the Georgia Court of Appeals (gactapp).

"level": "gjc & iac"

Yes- it certainly is. That certainly came from using a string in a field that should've been something else I suspect.

After all this time I think its obvious that level should be the primary purpose of the court. In this case I think superior courts are generally trial courts (even though they may hear some appeals from limited jurisdiction municipal courts)

I would be happy to hear your thoughts though @anseljh

This was weird, and has been updated to the primary purpose of the court.
