Full Text of Rule 43.2
Plain-English Summary
Rule 43.2 answers a simple organizational question: who runs the MCJE program day to day? The answer is the Council of Superior Court Judges, and the rule gives that responsibility to the Council exclusively.
Centralizing administration this way avoids splitting oversight of judicial education across multiple bodies. Every judge’s compliance, every approved program, and every sanction for falling short flows through one organization, which keeps the rules applied consistently across all of Georgia’s judicial circuits rather than varying county by county.
