Uh Oh, Spaghetti-Os: You've Got a Court Date in Atlanta
So, you woke up this morning with a sinking feeling in your stomach that mysteriously rhymes with "citation." Don't worry, my friend, we've all been there (except for maybe that saintly person reading this – kudos to you!).
The good news? Facing a court date doesn't have to be a total drag. The even better news? Finding out your court date in Atlanta is a breeze, easier than finding a decent cup of coffee at 3 AM (although that might be a low bar depending on your neighborhood).
Here's how to avoid the "frantic courthouse dash" scene straight out of a legal comedy and get yourself squared away:
Paper Trail? There's an App for That (Well, Almost)
QuickTip: Scroll back if you lose track.
First things first, dig through that pile of mysterious envelopes on your counter. Chances are, your court date is staring you right back in the face on that not-so-friendly-looking citation. Bold the date on your calendar (or write it on your arm in permanent marker, whatever works for you).
But what if the paper gods haven't blessed you with a physical copy (or maybe you misplaced it – hey, it happens!)? No worries, Atlanta has you covered with the power of the internet (almost as powerful as a good cup of joe).

QuickTip: Don’t rush through examples.
There are two main courthouses you might be dealing with in Atlanta:
Municipal Court of Atlanta: This is your go-to for traffic tickets, parking violations, and other city ordinance offenses. Head over to their website ([WEB atlanta municipal court ON City of Atlanta (.gov) court.atlantaga.gov]) and use their fancy "Find My Case" tool. All you need is your case number or citation number (written in legalese, but you'll find it on the ticket).
Fulton County Superior Court: This is where things get a little more serious – think felonies, misdemeanors, and civil cases. You can search their records through the Georgia Courts website ([WEB georgia court ON Georgia.gov georgiacourts.gov]).
