From Trio to Nonet: A Supremely Interesting History
The Georgia Supreme Court wasn't always the nine-headed beast it is today. Believe it or not, it all started in 1845 with a measly three justices. Think they were lonely? Don't worry, they got some company over the years. First, it bumped up to six, then seven in 1945. Finally, in 2017, they decided nine was the magic number (probably because eight just sounded weird).
Fun Fact: Back in the day, the justices even had to travel around the state like rockstars (minus the groupies, hopefully). Thankfully, the Civil War put an end to that and gave them a permanent home in Atlanta.
So, How Many Judges Are There Now? Nine!
There you have it, folks. The Georgia Supreme Court currently boasts a team of nine judges, all working tirelessly to ensure justice prevails (and hopefully they all get along, because that would be one awkward Thanksgiving dinner).
Tip: Break down complex paragraphs step by step.
Fun Fact #2: These judges are actually elected by the people of Georgia, which means you, yes you, have a say in who gets to wear the fancy robes and make the big decisions.
